1. Project Context, Development Objectives and Design 1.1 Context at Appraisal 1. Between 2001 and 2005, at the time of Project approval, Peru had enjoyed strong economic growth and sound macro-economic policies, with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increasing on average by five percent a year. However, growth had not translated into significant reduction in poverty. Poverty rate remained at almost half the country’s population, most severe in rural areas where 30 per cent of the population lives and was 20 per cent higher in the Sierra (highlands) and Selva (jungle) than in the coastal area. More than 60 per cent of those living in the coastal rural area (the Project area), were considered poor. 2. The agriculture sector had been a major contributor to Peru’s economic dynamism; it employed nearly one-third of the workforce, contributed close to 10 per cent of GDP and about 7 per cent of total exports. Irrigated agriculture accounted for about one third of cultivated land and two thirds of agricultural output. Total equipped irrigated areas covered about 1.7 million hectares (ha), of which about 1.2 million ha was in the coastal area. 3. While 70 per cent of the agricultural workforce was located in the Sierra, it was mostly agriculture in the coastal area – that is totally dependent on irrigation – which generated most of agricultural GDP and exports. The coastal area was where most people lived and economic activities were generated, it had easy access to export markets. Soils are very fertile in the coastal area and when supplied with adequate water, they can produce more than two harvests per year. The coastal area accounts for 70 per cent of irrigated areas, supplied by some 53 rivers, flowing west from the Andes to the coast.

4. It is in the coastal area that public administration is the most present and where large investments in irrigation had been made and that agriculture had high economic importance, and therefore where a suitable organization for irrigation management was of strategic importance for the country. The operation and maintenance (O&M) of the large public irrigation systems that had been built and managed by the Government were transferred overnight to 64 Water Users Associations (Juntas de Regantes - WUAs) and 664 Irrigation Commissions (Comisiones

Page 14: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

de Regantes-CRs)3 in 1989, without a program to build their capacity. Most WUAs lacked managerial capacity, basic tools to manage an irrigation system, and financial resources for adequate O&M. They did not invest in rehabilitation or improvement of the irrigation schemes which continued to suffer considerable deterioration. 5. Irrigation infrastructure was deficient: only 20 per cent of canals were lined, 90 per cent of intakes were rudimentary and there was a general absence of measurement instruments. Less than 5 per cent of the irrigated land was equipped with improved on-farm irrigation systems, such as drip and sprinklers. Of a total equipped irrigated area of 1.2 million ha, only about 700,000 ha to 800,000 ha were cultivated, depending on water availability. Of these, about 50 per cent received satisfactory water supply. For the other half, supplies varied from unsatisfactory to acceptable, subject to annual precipitation in the highlands. 6. In response to these challenges, the Government of Peru (GOP) launched in 1997 the Irrigation Subsector Project (PSI I) with a total cost of US$172 million and a Bank loan of US$85 million. The objectives of the project were to: (a) develop the capacities of WUAs, for a decentralized and efficient management of irrigation systems; (b) to reduce the role of the public sector in irrigation; and (c) to ensure the recovery of O&M and partial investment costs. 7. PSI I closed on June 30, 2004 and was rated by the Implementation Completion Report (ICR) and Operations Evaluation Department (OED) as satisfactory in relation to achievement of objectives and components4. However, project targets were only partially accomplished, because only 72 per cent of the initially foreseen funds were available due to: (a) reallocation of about US$30 million of the loan for emergency rehabilitation of primary irrigation infrastructure damaged by El Niño in 1998; and (b) the non-availability of the originally planned Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) loan of US$60 million. While the project improved significantly the performance of most WUAs5, it was considered that about 50 per cent of them still required intensive training. Also, farmers who benefited from on-farm irrigation improvements required more training to reap the full economic benefits of infrastructure improvements. In addition, while the project achieved its targets in terms of infrastructure improvements, there was further need for it.

8. On October 2005, a Supplemental Project (PSI II), the Project for which this evaluation is conducted, was approved to consolidate achievements made under the original project (PSI I), most importantly to continue strengthening the capacity of WUAs and provide training to farmers who benefited from on-farm irrigation improvements. Supplemental financing was considered crucial to ensure the sustainability and economic viability of PSI I. The supplemental operation had a total cost of US$21.7 million and a Bank loan of US$10.3 million. The closing date was initially December 31, 2007, but later was extended to June 30, 2009.

3 Water Users Organizations (WUOs) include both the Water Users’ Associations (Juntas de Usuarios – WUAs) and the Irrigation Commissions that compose them (Comisiones de Regantes – CRs). CRs manage the irrigation network at a lower level than the WUAs. 4 Reference: “Implementation Completion Report (ICR) on a loan in the amount of US$ 85 million to the Government of Peru for an Irrigation Subsector Project” – Report 29838, World Bank, 2004. 5 As a result of the project, tariff revenues in the coastal area increased from US$7 million in 1999 to US$19 million in 2005, the number of WUAs considered “eligible” and “sustainable” increased from 2 to 33 and 10 respectively. For a definition of “eligible”, see footnote #6. For a definition of “sustainable” see footnote #2 and Annex 10.

9. PSI II was expected to contribute to the following strategic elements of the 2002-2006 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS-Report #24205, 2002): Institutional reforms would be reinforced by WUOs strengthening as a means to decentralize irrigation management and support services provided by the Ministry of Agriculture (MINAG). The Project would have a direct impact on the productive lives of the poor, as more than 70 per cent of potential beneficiaries were small farmers (less than 3 ha). Also, infrastructure rehabilitation and users collective actions by users would reduce environmental damages caused by inadequate irrigation. Finally, partnerships with civil society would be enhanced through the involvement of private service providers (training, extension services, marketing), as well as beneficiaries / WUAs participation.

1.2 Original Project Development Objectives (PDO) and Key Indicators (as approved)

10. The original Project Development Objective (PDO) as defined in the main text of the Project Appraisal Document (PAD) was: “to increase the production and productivity of irrigated agriculture in the coastal area of Peru in order to improve farmers’ well being and contribute to poverty alleviation.” According to the PAD, the PDO was expected to be achieved through the promotion of the development of the financial and management capacity of WUOs, improved use of the water resources, and increase in soil use efficiency.

11. The original key indicators and their targets as approved in the Loan Agreement (LA) are listed in Table 2 below, and mostly refer to Project component outcomes.

(2) Outcome related to component A (and C1) (3) Outcome related to component B (and C2) (4) Outcome related to component D

12. In addition to the indicators included in the LA, the PAD listed the following PDO related indicators (without target)7.

6 ‘WUA Eligibility Criteria’ means the eligibility criteria established in order for WUAs to benefit from components A and B of the Project; i.e.: (a) a technical manager has been appointed for the relevant WUA; (b) a realistic budget reflected in water tariffs has been adopted allowing efficient operation and maintenance; (c) the advanced water tariff payment system has been adopted; and (d) at least 75 per cent of said tariff has been paid in advance. 7 No targets were set for those indicators, most probably because they are impact-level indicators and, therefore, difficult to estimate.

1.3 Revised PDO (as approved by original approving authority) and Key Indicators, and reasons/justification

13. The Project had two first-order restructurings. One in June 2007, to extend the Project area to the Sierra, the second one in August 2008, to revisit outcome indicators and targets. 14. The original PDO was changed to extend the Project area to the Sierra whose development was a priority of the new Government. This first-order restructuring was made in order to pilot, in the Sierra, the Project integrated approach to inform the design of a follow-up World Bank-financed irrigation project in the Sierra. The revised PDO is to: “increase the productivity of irrigated agriculture in Peru’s Coast and Sierra in order to improve the well being of farmers and contribute to poverty alleviation”. At the same time, the word “production” was dropped from the PDO, as it was already captured in the word “productivity”. 15. Targets indicated in the LA were modified twice. The first, in June 2007, was to reflect Project extension to three pilot areas in the Sierra. The second, in August 2008, was in relation to restructuring of costs to ensure that uncommitted funds were put to productive use, thereby fully disbursing the loan by Project closing. The final set of indicators and their targets, as stated in the legal documents, are shown in Table 4. Additional PDO related indicators included in the PAD were also modified during implementation. These additional indicators had no target and are listed in Table 5 below.

1.4 Main Beneficiaries

16. Project beneficiaries, as anticipated at appraisal, were: (a) 300,000 farmers in the coastal area, integrated in 664 CRs and 64 WUAs; (b) 9,000 directors, technicians and other employees of WUAs and (c) 64 Technical Administrators of Irrigation District (ATDR)8. Project extension to three pilot areas in the Sierra increased the number of beneficiaries by 700 farmers and 3 WUAs. More than two thirds of the farmers expected to benefit from the Project had landholdings of less than 3 ha and were considered poor. 17. The causal links between the Project investments and the benefits expected to flow to beneficiaries are as follows: Farmers benefit from:

(a) off-farm and on-farm improvements of irrigation due to increased water availability and timing of delivery;

(b) capacity building activities expected to improve farmers’ irrigation and agricultural practices and marketing strategies. (infrastructure improvements combined with capacity building is key to increasing yields and crop quality as well as allowing conversion to the production of higher value crops for exports and urban markets; thereby improving the overall performance and sustainability of irrigation and agricultural production)

(c) formalization of agriculture water rights because it secures water supplies in an increasingly water scarce environment; and encourages on-farm investments, such as irrigation improvement and conversion to production of higher value crops.

(d) WUAs and CRs benefit from off-farm irrigation infrastructure improvements and capacity enhancement that is expected to improve irrigation scheme management and sustainability. They also benefit from formalization of water rights because it facilitates easier water distribution and management of water resources.

8 ATDR were responsible, among other things, for monitoring the performance of WUAs and for the approval of water tariff.

1.5 Original Components 18. Component A. Rehabilitation and modernization of off-farm irrigation systems (US$ 5.26 million). This component supported eligible WUAs to improve water supply service to farmers through financing infrastructure improvements of the collective irrigation system. To be eligible, WUAs had to achieve eligibility conditions (see footnote #4) and be one of the 20 coastal WUAs selected at appraisal (see Annex 2). Each subproject could not exceed US$250,000. Beneficiaries were required to finance engineering studies and co-finance civil works at 30-35 per cent. 19. Component B. Incentive Program for On-farm Irrigation Technology Improvement (US$ 6.63 million). This component provided financial incentives to eligible farmers’ groups to encourage adoption of improved on-farm irrigation technologies such as drip, sprinkler or improved gravity irrigation systems. To be eligible, farmers’ groups had to include at least 6 members and a total irrigated area of 24 ha. The component was to operate in the same WUAs as component A. Each subproject could not exceed US$ 250,000 and the maximum irrigable area per individual farmer was 30 ha. Project subsidies per land owner could not exceed US$12,000 for pressurized and US$6,000 for gravity systems. Farmers were selected by competition for the allocation of incentives:

a. Beneficiaries farming less than 10 ha were required to co-finance at least 30 per cent for pressurized irrigation and 20 per cent for improved gravity systems;

b. Beneficiaries farming more than 10 ha had to co-finance at least 50 per cent for pressurized and 40 per cent for improved gravity systems.

20. Component C. Capacity Building of Water Users’ Groups and Farmers (US$ 3.97 million)

21. Subcomponent C.1 Capacity, Building of WUAs. The subcomponent financed training and equipment to strengthen WUAs technical, financial and administrative capacity to increase sustainability and quality of management. The component operated in the 64 WUAs of the coastal area, albeit with different intensity in accordance with the degree of capacity already achieved. 22. Subcomponent C.2 Capacity Building of Farmers. The subcomponent, which operated in the same areas as component B under both this Project and PSI I carried out two types of activities:

(a) Actions prior to irrigation improvements: raising awareness of component B; promoting formation of farmers’ groups; providing assistance in preparation of subproject feasibility studies and business plan; and training of agribusiness operators.

(b) Actions subsequent to irrigation improvements: such as extension activities aimed at other farmers to achieve a multiplying effect in promoting the adoption of modern irrigation technology and associated crop practices.

23. Component D. Support to Water Resources Management (US$ 4.78 million). This consisted of three subcomponents executed by the Water Resources Bureau (Intendencia de Recursos Hidricos -IRH-INRENA) of MINAG.

24. Subcomponent D.1 Formalization of Water Rights with the objectives of ensuring that beneficiaries have legal security on the use of irrigation and promoting private investments in irrigation. 25. Subcomponent D.2 Implementation of the National Agricultural Water Rights Registry System financed the implementation, in IRH-INRENA, of the National Agricultural Water Rights Registry.

26. Subcomponent D.3 Support to implementation of the Water Resources Strategy. financed activities aimed at: (a) developing specific and tested solutions for conflict resolutions; (b) developing a proposal for institutional arrangements for water resources management on a watershed basis; and (c) supporting further development of Water Law under discussion in Congress during Project preparation.

27. Component E. Project Coordination and Monitoring (US$ 1.38 million).

1.6 Revised Components

28. Changes to Project components were not significant. During the first restructuring, in June 2007, when Project activities were extended to the Sierra, eligibility criteria and cost-sharing rules for subprojects (components A and B) in the Sierra were made less demanding than for subprojects in the coastal area. This is because the socio-economic conditions in the Sierra are much more difficult than in the coastal area, with a poverty incidence 20 per cent higher (see para. 1). More specifically, Table 6 below compares cost-sharing rules and eligibility criteria between the coastal area and the Sierra.

1.7 Other significant changes 29. Implementation schedule and closing date. A 6-month extension to June 30 2009 was approved on June 2008, due to the slow implementation of components A and B, due to reasons explained in paragraphs 34, 37-39 and 41. 30. Reallocation of loan proceeds and change in component costs. Reallocation of the loan proceeds was done as part of the second amendment to the LA in July 2008. It increased funding for technical assistance to promote on-farm irrigation improvements and formalization of water rights, by decreasing funding for components A and B. Table 7 compares the original allocation (as described in the LA) and the revised allocation at completion. Annex 1 includes a table with the original component costs as described in the PAD and the revised component costs after both restructurings.

2.1 Project Preparation, Design and Quality at Entry Assessment of Project Design 32. The PDO was clear and reflected essential priorities for rural and social development in Peru, as identified by GOP “Carta Verde” (2004), the National Irrigation Strategy (NIS - 2003), and the Bank’s Country Partnership Strategy for Peru (CPS, Report No. 24205-PE, August 19 2004). However, with hindsight, it should have focused on the institutional strengthening of WUAs, instead of higher level objectives, such as increased agricultural productivity, for the following reasons:

(a) The objectives of PSI I were basically related to institutional strengthening and capacity building (see para 6) and the main reason for its supplemental Project, PSI II, was to further strengthen the capacity of WUAs and farmers to ensure long-term sustainability and reap the full economic benefits of investments (see para 8).

(b) Components related to infrastructure improvements, were small in scope and were actually designed as incentives for management improvements9 in the case of Component A (modernization of off-farm irrigation) and “demonstration” subprojects in the case of Component B (on-farm irrigation improvements).

(c) The Project cannot really be held accountable for increased productivity and production because these are longer-term outcomes that depend on efforts beyond the Project’s scope and beyond the control of Project management. Also, identifying the Project contribution to these outcomes (in particular from its soft

9 The eligibility criteria for Component A (see footnote #6) proved to be a powerful tool to accelerate capacity improvement of WUAs.

10

components which were the core of the Project) would require a rigorous impact evaluation, which was not foreseen during Project preparation.

33. While Project design was relatively complex due to the diverse components, it basically adopted the same approach and relied on the same implementing agency as PSI I, which had been a satisfactory operation (see para 7).

(a) PSI II followed the demand-driven, integrated approach to irrigation modernization, which proved successful in increasing the capacity of WUAs to become technically and financially autonomous, as well as increasing agricultural production and productivity under PSI I (see para 7 and ICR report #29838), and was in line with international good practices. It combined both structural and non structural components, all of them already included in PSI I, with the exception of the formalization of water rights. The formalization of water rights further strengthened the approach because it promoted farmers’ investments in irrigation and the switch to higher-value crops. The approach was designed to improve cost-effectiveness of public investments, taking advantage of the synergies between components, so that overall Project impact is greater than the sum of its parts. Paragraph 17 above describes the causal relationships between components and PDO.

(b) An important feature of Project design was to have eligibility criteria for off-farm irrigation improvements related to the performance of WUAs. This proved to be a powerful incentive to improve WUAs performance under PSI I and was confirmed by PSI II. Under PSI II, this was indeed the main objective of component A (see para 32.b).

(c) Implementation arrangements were well designed. The main implementing agency (PSI) had already successfully carried out a similar project (PSI I). In addition to PSI, IRH-INRENA, the institution responsible for Water Resources Management in the country, was made responsible for the technical implementation of component D, while all fiduciary responsibilities were maintained within PSI, due to the little experience of IRH-INRENA in those themes.

34. Changes in Project design from PSI I and II that affected Project implementation and outcomes concern components A and B and, more specifically, the cost-sharing rules, the eligibility criteria and competitive grant process for component B and the responsibility and procedures for the formulation of subproject pre-feasibility studies. Those changes, combined with the fact that PSI II, unlike PSI I, worked with the poorer and weaker WUAs of the coastal area, resulted in an unrealistic Project implementation schedule and targets that had been set based on PSI I experience. These changes in the design of components A and B resulted in substantial delays in the execution of subprojects during Project implementation and in not reaching some of these components’ targets.

(a) Cost-sharing rules. Farmers’ groups (component B) and WUAs (component A) had difficulty in gathering the financial contribution necessary to implement

Page 23: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

11

irrigation infrastructure investments. Minimum financial contribution was substantially raised from PSI I to PSI II, despite the fact that PSI II worked in poorer WUAs than PSI I10. In the case of component A, WUAs contribution to subproject financing was raised from 20 per cent under PSI I to 35 per cent under PSI II, as required by the Ministry of Finance (MEF). In the case of component B, the minimum contribution from farmers was raised from 20 per cent in PSI I to 30 per cent for areas smaller than 10 ha and, 50 per cent for areas larger than 10 ha.

(b) Eligibility criteria for component B. Under PSI I, individual farmers could benefit from on-farm irrigation improvements (component B). In the case of PSI II, only farmers’ groups of at least 6 members and with a total irrigated area of minimum 24 ha could benefit. This change in design was introduced due to regulations of GOP that stipulated that public funds could not be used to finance private infrastructure/individual investments. These conditions discouraged many interested small and medium farmers, especially when they could not find neighboring producers equally interested in the Project. This is one of the main reasons why implementation of component B was slow and its original targets not met.

(c) New administrative procedures for the preparation and approval of subprojects.In PSI II, new procedures (National System for Public Investment – Sistema Nacional de Inversion Publica-SNIP process) for the preparation and approval of subprojects were introduced. These procedures included an additional pre-feasibility study stage (perfil de proyecto), responsibility of WUAs and farmers’ groups. While these new procedures improved the quality of subprojects, they caused significant delays for three reasons: (a) there was an extra study to prepare and an extra approval step to pass; (b) beneficiaries had to mobilize financial resources for the study without guarantee that it would lead to subproject implementation; and (c) initially, WUAs and local consultants lacked experience in the preparation of pre-feasibility studies. Initially, studies prepared were of poor quality, generating several rounds of revisions, before they could be approved.

Assessment of Risks

35. Risks were correctly identified with the exception of those associated with the changes in Project design from PSI I to PSI II for components A and B (see para 34). While the risk of not achieving the required financial contribution was identified during Project preparation, it was considered moderate. During implementation, this risk turned out to be substantial and resulted in significant delays in the implementation of components A and B and in the non achievement of their original targets. During Project preparation, the risks of delays associated with the

10 The financial capacity of WUAs initially selected to benefit from PSI II was weaker than that of the WUAs which benefited under PSI I. Indeed, PSI II focused on WUAs that required more time and technical support to reach the eligibility criteria, including the water tariff collection efficiency criteria, an indicator of their financial capacity.

12

introduction of the SNIP process for the preparation and approval of subprojects and with the requirement to form groups of farmers to benefit from component B were not anticipated.

Government commitment and stakeholder involvement. 36. Government’s commitment and stakeholder involvement were adequate. As mentioned above, the Project adopted a demand-driven approach to infrastructure improvement (component A and B), as well as to the formalization of water rights (component D). The national water resources management diagnostic and strategy supported by the Project were also conducted in a highly participatory way, involving stakeholders’ inputs at various stages of the preparation process.

2.2 Implementation 37. Project implementation was slower than expected for the following reasons:

(a) Factors outside the control of government or implementing agencies 38. Oil price increases. The price of oil increased continuously during Project implementation, reaching, in August 2008, almost three times the value it had at appraisal. This, combined with the long time required to prepare subprojects (on average a year in the case of component B), meant that subproject cost estimates in the feasibility studies were often lower than at the time of construction. As a result, a number of subprojects were dropped because farmers’ groups/WUAs were not willing, or could not mobilize the additional funds required, for their construction.

39. PSI carried out emergency interventions in irrigation perimeters affected by the earthquake of August 2007 in Pisco. While these activities were not directly financed by the Project, they caused delays in achieving Project targets, because staff and other resources were mobilized to respond to this emergency.

(b) Factors generally subject to government control

40. Delays in receiving funds for Component B. The LA was signed in October 2005, too late for the Project to be included in Government General Budget for 2006. Only in May 2006, did PSI get a specific budget allocation for Project implementation. The implementation of component B was therefore delayed by about six months because, unlike other components, it did not get any advances of national funds.

41. Project extension to the Sierra and formalization of agricultural water rights. As per Government request, the Project was extended to the Sierra. New targets and component costs were estimated based on the experience in the coastal area. Yet, the time and cost of formalizing water rights in the Sierra were much higher than at the coast because: (a) in the Sierra, many water rights were issued to a community of farmers while in the coastal area all water rights had been issued to individual farmers, and issuing a water right to a community is more complex and (b) in the Sierra, land is not cultivated in winter, reducing the time when field work can be

Page 25: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

13

carried out, while in the coastal area, the land is cultivated year-round. A second Project restructuring adjusted component targets and cost to reflect those points.

(c) Factors generally subjects to implementing agencies control 42. New administrative procedures for the formulation and approval of subprojects. As mentioned above, each subproject under components A and B had to follow the new SNIP procedures, including the preparation of an additional pre-feasibility study. Initially, WUAs and local consultants lacked experience in the preparation of these pre-feasibility studies. They were of poor quality, generating several rounds of revisions before they could be approved. In response to this problem, PSI organized several workshops aimed at strengthening the capacity of WUAs and local consultants in the preparation of those studies, which reduced significantly the time required for subproject preparation and improved overall subprojects quality.

43. Farmers and WUAs had difficulty in mobilizing their financial contribution to subprojects. As mentioned above, farmers and WUAs faced difficulty in mobilizing their financial contribution to subprojects. PSI took the following measures, in accordance with the World Bank Project team, to alleviate these problems: (a) it expanded the number of WUAs that could benefit from component A and B, by (i) allowing the WUAs that benefitted from PSI I to participate in the Project and (ii) relaxing the condition that only farmers’ groups belonging to a WUA eligible for component A could benefit from component B; (b) it supported WUAs and farmers in requesting financial support from various financial institutions such as Peruvian banks, COFIDE (Development Finance Corporation) and micro-credit NGOs; (c) it coordinated with regional and local governments so that they guarantee the loan contracted by WUAs and farmers’ groups to finance their part of the subproject; and (d) it promoted the association between farmers’ groups and agro-export firms to help farmers groups mobilize their financial contributions.

2.3 Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Design, Implementation and Utilization M&E Design 44. The M&E system was designed adequately to monitor and evaluate component outcomes with, in general, clear Project component indicators and targets (see Table 9 for the final list of outcome indicators and targets per component) as well as data sources and collection methods (with the exception of one indicator for component A: “number of farmers families benefitting from the component”)11. The same is true for expected inputs and outputs of each component.

45. Evaluation of Project impacts, which in the case of this Project refers to the stated PDO (increased production and productivity), is difficult from a methodological standpoint, data intensive and costly because it requires isolating the effects of the Project from those of other factors and this type of study is usually not carried out for Bank projects. In the absence of such a study, it is difficult to judge, with accuracy, to what extent the Project led to increased

11 It is indeed impossible to set a meaningful target for this indicator because the number of beneficiaries depends on the location of the subproject (the more upstream the subproject, the higher the number of beneficiaries) which becomes known only during implementation, as a result of demand-driven process.

14

production and productivity. These problems were partially overcome with: (a) an impact evaluation of PSI I carried out by IEG12, whose results are briefly described in paragraphs 74-76 and 83-84, and (b) a separate study conducted by PSI13, as part of its final Project evaluation report, based on a representative sample of subprojects, which is the data source of Table 8 and Annex 3. This study, however, did not consider control groups and was carried between 1 to 3 years after the subprojects were completed, not enough, in most cases, to appreciate the full impacts of the subprojects on agricultural production, productivity and farmers incomes. For those reasons, its findings should be considered as general trends and not definite results.

M&E Implementation 46. The M&E system was effective in tracking implementation progress of each component. During implementation, the outcome, output and input indicators for each component were collected regularly and were of good quality, allowing identification of delays in the implementation of components A and B and undertaking remedial measures (see para 42 and 43).

47. During several supervision missions, the Bank recommended collecting impact-related indicators for each subproject of components A and B during Project implementation, and prepared a template for doing so. However, those impact-related indicators were only collected at Project closing, as part of the Borrower’s final Project evaluation report, and for a representative sample of subprojects13.

48. Although Project results have been disseminated relatively well to international audiences14, efforts to disseminate quantitative results and lessons learned from the Project within Peru were limited in scope.

12 “An Impact Evaluation of a Multicomponent Irrigation Project on Farm Households in Peru”, IEG, 2009. While the study refers to PSI I, the activities undertaken by PSI II under components A and B are basically the same, therefore the estimated impacts of those components are also valid for PSI II. 13 “Informe de Cierre, PSI, October 2009. 14 The Project results were presented in international journals (e.g. Developing Capacity in Water Users Organizations: the case of Peru, Irrig. and Drain. 57:300-310, 2008) and at various international events, including the Bank-sponsored Water Week in 2009.

2.4 Safeguard and Fiduciary Compliance Environment and social safeguards

49. Compliance with environmental and social safeguards was moderately satisfactory.

Project design

50. The Project was classified as category B and triggered three environmental safeguards, notably, OP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment); OP 4.09 (Pest Management) and OP 4.11 (Physical Cultural Resources), for which an Environment Management Plan (EMP) and a Pest Management Plan (PMP) were prepared and disclosed before appraisal. While the Project was a supplemental Project with similar components as PSI I, its design and safeguards classification should have been reviewed and endorsed by the Region’s Safeguards Advisory Team (SAT) before its approval by the Board in 2005. This had not been the case and SAT endorsed the category B classification in November 2005.

Project implementation

51. The safeguards classification and instruments were completely reviewed as part of the first Project restructuring because the Project extended its activities to three pilot areas in the Sierra. As a result, three additional safeguards were triggered by components A and B: OP 4.04 (Natural Habitats), OP 4.37 (Safety of Dams) and OD 4.20 (Indigenous Peoples). Project category B was maintained. Social assessments were prepared for the three pilot valleys and an Indigenous People Plan (IPP) was prepared for the Colca Valley where indigenous people were present. The EMP, PMP and ISDS were revised. The PMP prepared has been considered good practice by the Bank. All safeguards documents were consulted with potential beneficiaries and civil society and disclosed before approval of the restructuring package by the Board.

52. After the first Project restructuring in 2007, PSI hired a full time environmental specialist to ensure subproject compliance with environmental and social safeguards. He produced a number of simple guidelines for the preparation and supervision of subprojects (components A and B) and their compliance with the EMP, various materials related to good agricultural practices and integrated pest management. He also gave, with the help of short-term consultants, numerous training sessions to PSI staff and farmers’ groups on those themes, as stated in the PMP. Those activities were mostly financed as part of component C2.

53. The PMP was implemented for subprojects under component B starting in 2007. The IPP for the Colca valley included measures that were included in the methodology followed by PSI to implement subprojects in the area. PSI did not approve any subproject (components A and B) that did not follow the Peruvian SNIP procedures with regard to environmental assessment (which were considered adequate by the Bank) and included the preparation of an environmental management plan for each subproject whose cost and activities were included in the final design of the subprojects.

Procurement

54. The management of procurement processes by PSI was satisfactory. Three ex-post procurement reviews were conducted during Project implementation. The ex-post reports and the Supervision Mission Aide Memoires included recommendations that helped improve the management of procurement processes, including: (a) the expansion of the procurement plan format to incorporate key information relevant for planning and monitoring purposes; (b) consideration of the Procurement Special Provisions, included in the LA, to avoid procedures incompatible with Bank Guidelines; (c) avoid the inclusion of requirements not explicitly specified in the Bank Guidelines for bidding documents; (d) obtaining no objection, when required, prior to the procurement action; (e) improvement of archiving capacity; and (f) constant training of procurement staff. These recommendations were included in the action plans of the ex-post reports which were complied with during Project implementation.

Financial Management

55. Financial Management was moderately satisfactory.

56. PSI was experienced with the World Bank financial management procedures as it had already implemented PSI I and undertook its responsibilities for the management of funds, within its own structure and procedures. Flow of funds included transfer of funds from PSI to beneficiaries’ bank accounts to implement subprojects (components A and B) and to INRENA to implement component D. Those transfers of funds required that a robust financial management system be designed and maintained throughout the life of the Project.

57. PSI submitted in a timely manner the Project financial monitoring and audit reports. However, it faced difficulties putting in place and operating effectively adequate financial management arrangements. Main shortcomings included: (a) the capacity of the financial staff, (b) some deficiencies in the internal controls, (c) inadequate accounting policies and procedures, and (d) a weak financial information system that could have jeopardized the reliability of the financial information required to manage the Project and monitor its implementation. For those reasons, the Project required close supervision from the Bank financial management team as well as continuous technical assistance.

58. Important improvements were achieved in the following areas: (a) the internal control system for control of funds transferred to the subprojects and INRENA was improved; (b) the accounting policies and procedures to provide timely and reliable information required to manage and monitor the implementation of the sub-projects was improved; (c) the capacity of administrative staff was strengthened in order to be able to set-up adequate arrangements and controls; and (d) the basis to enhance the financial information system to support the transaction recording, monitoring, and reporting of Project administrative and financial information were set-up. However, a key success factor looking forward to the next Project in the Sierra would be the presence of highly qualified staff to ensure the maintenance and effective operation of those arrangements, which can effectively support Project implementation.

2.5 Post-completion Operation/Next Phase Post-completion operation of investments financed by the Project 59. The capacity of WUAs to achieve self-sufficiency in technical, financial and administrative aspects has increased significantly during Project implementation (see para 68) and, generally, the sustainability of infrastructure improvements (component A) due to inadequate O&M is not a concern.

60. However, many WUAs need further strengthening and, in fact, most WUAs should receive continuous support in order to continue improving/maintaining the performance of water service delivery. Three main mechanisms are in place to strengthen the capacity of WUAs, but they are either incipient or have an uncertain future:

(a) The Project promoted the creation, within the WUAs, of a Training and Communication Unit (UCC), with a small budget and dedicated staff, responsible for continuous capacity building of WUAs and trained local irrigation authorities (ATDR) in the monitoring of WUAs, in particular their annual O&M plans and training programs. In practice, however, this mechanism is still incipient and need; to be consolidated with further support because (a) UCCs have only been created in 34 WUAs (53 per cent of WUAs in the coastal area), mostly in the stronger WUAs, and they are not always sufficiently financed and (b) the capacity of ATDRs is uneven. Their recent transfer to the National Water Authority (ANA) should improve this situation because they will not depend on regional budgets and priorities and ANA has the power to sanction.

(b) In addition to the UCCs that have been supported by the Project, the Peruvian National Board of WUAs, created in 1984, has recently engaged in promoting and developing capacity development of WUAs, by creating its own incipient capacity building unit.

(c) Finally, PSI continues supporting irrigation modernization, including strengthening of WUAs, but this support is still dependent on the implementation of projects/programs financed by MINAG and donor agencies, putting at risk the sustainability of PSI support to WUAs in the longer term. Currently two PSI projects provide capacity building to WUAs in the coastal area: (a) a JICA Project, approved in 2006 that follows the same approach as PSI II and works only in the best 15 WUAs of the coastal area and (b) PROCOMAT, a capacity building project for WUAs and farmers focused on the areas not supported by the JICA project. PROCOMAT is closing in December 2009 and a new, similar project should follow. The other projects implemented by PSI, concern the promotion of on-farm irrigation improvements or increasing irrigation water supply through regulation of rivers and construction of water intakes (component A and B type of projects).

61. The O&M of improved on-farm irrigation systems (component B) is the responsibility of farmers. The risk that this O&M is inadequate is low because farmers should have the capacity

Page 30: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

18

to properly maintain the O&M systems (they received training from PSI and the material providers) and farmers were highly motivated in installing the improved technologies as they financed the feasibility studies and a large share of investments. Finally, subproject designs have been revised by the PSI team whose expertise in this field is strong and the risks that those systems would fail because the poor design is therefore low.

Extension of PSI activities to the Sierra region of Peru. 62. Other than the pilot projects carried out under PSI II in the Sierra, PSI only worked in the coastal area. A follow-up World Bank financed operation is under preparation to extend PSI activities to the Sierra region, following a similar integrated approach as the one implemented in the coastal area. This follow-up operation will provide an opportunity for the Bank team to continue dialogue with the Government on the means to insure continuous and appropriate support to WUAs in the coastal and Sierra areas. The follow-up project will build on the experience in the sierra region under the Project and include the lessons learned as outlined in this ICR.

3. Assessment of Outcomes 3.1 Relevance of Objectives, Design and Implementation 63. Project design (PDO and components) remains highly relevant for Peru because it is consistent with GOP’s current development priorities and with current Bank country and sector assistance strategies.

(a) MINAG’s Agriculture Multiannual Sectoral Strategic Plan for 2007-2011 establishes six strategic objectives, two of which are supported by the Project:

1. Strategic objective on Water Management: (i) construction and rehabilitation of irrigation infrastructure to guarantee water availability and optimal use; (ii) installation of improved on-farm irrigation systems; (iii) formalization of water rights; and (iv) promotion of the efficient use of water in the coastal area.

2. Strategic objective on Market Access: (i) strengthen farmers’ productive and entrepreneurial capacity; and (ii) promote the shift to market oriented agricultural crops.

(b) Project design also responds directly to two of the three pillars of the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS – Report #37913, Dec 2006) agreed between the Bank and Peru covering the period 2007-11, namely Economic Growth (accelerating growth and widening its base, making growth environmentally sustainable) and Social Development (strengthening human capital).

19

64. In addition, responding to recent GOP priorities to alleviate poverty in the Sierra, the PDO and Project components were adjusted15 to allow the implementation of pilot subprojects in three WUAs of the Sierra and, thereby, help design a follow-up operation that would scale-up PSI activities to the poorer Sierra region.

65. Finally, Project design is relevant and consistent with the stated PDO, in particular the integrated approach to irrigation improvement that had already proved successful in increasing the productivity of irrigation under PSI I and building the capacity of WUAs (see para 7).

3.2 Achievement of Project Development Objectives

66. The Project achieved its stated PDO. It has indeed contributed to increase the production and productivity of irrigated agriculture in the Project area, as demonstrated by PSI’s final Project evaluation report13 the results of which are included in Table 8 below.

67. Increases in production, land productivity and incomes are significant in the Project area, but cannot be compared to targets (none were set). Also, only the effects of Components A, on one hand, and B & C2, on the other, could be measured. The effects of the institutional strengthening of WUAs (component C1) and of the formalization of water rights (component D) on increased production and productivity could not be estimated, as they would be very difficult to capture from a methodological standpoint. It should be noted that this study did not consider control groups and was carried out 1 to 3 years after the subprojects were completed, not enough

20

in most cases, to appreciate the full impacts of the subprojects on agricultural production, productivity and farmers’ incomes. For those reasons, its findings should be considered as general trends and not definitive results. It should also be noted that both components A and B&C2 generated substantial impacts in terms of production and productivity. Indeed, the benefits of component A are spread over a much larger irrigated area than those of component B16 which compensate for its smaller impacts per ha (see the financial and economic analyses in Annex 3).

68. The Project exceeded its outcome targets related to strengthening the capacity of WUAs as demonstrated below:

(a) Collection efficiency of water tariff during the same period increased from 78 to 85 per cent since 2008. Target was exceeded.

(b) Revenues collected from the water tariff increased by 42 per cent between 2005 and 2008, from US$19 million in 2005 to US$27 million in 2008. No target was set.

(c) The number of WUAs that reached the eligibility criteria for Component A increased by 48 per cent, from 33 to 49 WUAs between 2005 and 2009. This is 77 per cent of all WUAs in the coastal area. Target was exceeded.

(d) The number of WUAs that reached the “sustainability level” increased from 10 in 2005 to 41 in 2009. This is 64 per cent of all WUAs in the coastal area. No target was set.

69. The Project did promote the adoption of on-farm irrigation innovation, but did not reach the targets related to this outcome (see Table 9 below). The reasons for not reaching the targets are explained in para. 34, 37-39 and 41 above.

70. The Project almost achieved both of its outcome targets for the formalization of water rights (see Table 9 below). The reasons for not achieving the target related to the number of water licenses issued are due to Project extension in the Sierra where the formalization of water rights is much more complex than in the coastal area (see para 41 for a more detailed explanation).

16 Subprojects of component A (off-farm irrigation modernization) and B (on-farm irrigation improvements) in the coastal area benefit an average approximately 1360 ha (382 families) and 36.7 ha (10 families), respectively.

3.3 Efficiency Rating: Substantial 71. An ex-post cost-benefit analysis was carried out on a representative sample of 28 subprojects financial by the Project. This analysis estimates the Project economic internal rate of return (EIRR) at 20.5 per cent, corresponding to a net present value (NPV) of US$ 14.7 million and the financial internal rate of return (FIRR) at 16.7 per cent, corresponding to a NPV of US$ 7.2 million. Despite the data limitations mentioned in Annex 3, such as the limited number of years after subproject completion to appreciate impacts and the absence of control groups, these

Page 34: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

22

results demonstrate good returns on investments from both a financial and economic point of view.

72. The EIRR and FIRR calculated at Project closing are lower than those estimated during Project preparation, which were 24.5 per cent and 25.5 per cent respectively. The lower internal rates of returns are explained by the fact that the improved irrigated area by components A and B, for which Project benefits are estimated, is much smaller than anticipated, while the overall cost of irrigation improvements (components A, B, C and part of E combined) is similar to what was expected at appraisal. In other words, the unit cost of irrigation modernization (US$/ha) is much higher than anticipated for two reasons: (a) the slow implementation of infrastructure subprojects requiring much more sensibilization and technical assistance than anticipated due to cumbersome procedures (see para 34, 37-39) and (b) higher costs of materials and civil works due to increases in oil prices (see para 38).

3.4 Justification of Overall Outcome Rating Rating: Satisfactory 73. The outcome of the Project is rated satisfactory based on its continued high relevance, the satisfactory rating given to its efficacy since it achieved the intended objective and the substantial rating given to its efficiency since the Project achieved an acceptable rate of return of 20.5 per cent.

3.5 Overarching Themes, Other Outcomes and Impacts (a) Poverty Impacts, Gender Aspects, and Social Development

74. Impacts on economic well being and agricultural performance. An impact evaluation of PSI I carried out by IEG12 shows that the Project had positive impacts on the economic well being and agricultural performance of beneficiaries: off farm irrigation improvements and WUAs capacity building increased labor demand and increased wage income. Beneficiaries hired 27 per cent more agricultural workers than the control group, and reflecting this, wage income (which on average amounts to 20 per cent of the total income per capita) for farm households in localities that benefited from those components increased by 47 per cent per capita relative to farm households in control localities.

75. Impact on poverty. The value of output per capita, income per capita and agricultural profit per capita increased for poor farmers relative to the poor in comparable localities where the program was not offered. In terms of broader economic welfare, poor farmers in beneficiary localities work significantly less as manual laborers and earn more non-wage income per capita, likely derived from agricultural activity on their own farm, than poor farm households in control localities. This finding is consistent with positive impacts on production, agricultural income and agricultural profit.

76. The formalization of water rights under Component D, the PROFODUA (Program for the Formalization of Water Use Rights), is reported to have resulted in greater equity in the distribution of water rights and a strengthened position of less powerful stakeholders like women

Page 35: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

23

and small producers. The program also embraced other key complementary aspects such as land property registration and the issuance of national identity cards for the more vulnerable population groups. These statements on the benefits of the program, however, have not been quantified or monitored during Project implementation.

77. Gender aspects. Project design did not foresee any gender dimension or set any specific gender targets. During implementation, however, two Gender Pilots were carried out in the Sierra region. Those pilots included a gender diagnosis that helped understand the different factors that determine the degree of participation of women and men in water management both at the level of the WUAs/CRs and in the fields. Capacity building activities were also carried out to improve women’s position within WUAs/CRs and their performance as agricultural producers. Lessons learned from both pilots are being used to incorporate a gender perspective in the forthcoming PSI Sierra project with the objective to respond to the specific conditions and needs of rural women in the Sierra.

(b) Institutional Change/Strengthening 78. One of the most important benefits of the Project has been the strengthening of WUAs through the combined action of components A and C1, as well as component D (see para 68). WUAs have also been empowered through their strong involvement in the process of selecting, designing, executing and financing irrigation subprojects.

79. ATDRs were also strengthened (mainly through component C1). They were trained to support and monitor WUAs in their efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in technical, financial and administrative aspects. With the promulgation of the new water law, ATDRs were recently transferred from the regional governments to the National Water Authority (ANA). They should keep their regulatory and support functions vis-à-vis WUAs as stated in the draft application decree of the water law.

80. The Project also contributed to the strengthening of IRH, and its recent transformation into the National Water Authority (ANA), the institution responsible for water resources management (WRM). More broadly, the Project helped define the new institutional and legal framework for WRM in Peru. IRH was strengthened through the implementation of the water rights program, the preparation of the national water strategy, the preparation of the Water Resources Modernization Program, part of which is now being implemented by the Bank, the strengthening of the legal framework for WRM which raised the status, power and budget of IRH as it became an Authority.

(c) Other Unintended Outcomes and Impacts (positive or negative)

81. On-farm irrigation improvements carried out by PSI I and PSI II had a demonstrative impact that contributed to the spectacular development of drip irrigation in the country, which increased from 7,700 ha in 199817 to 100,000 ha in 200918. Inspired by PSI I and II, the

24

Government launched in 2006 the program Riego Tecnificado, which, up to now, has finalized technical studies for the conversion of 6,000 ha to improved on-farm irrigation technologies.

82. A pool of engineers specialized in the design and supervision of drip irrigation, has been developed, as well as a group of equipment suppliers. These professionals and entrepreneurs are contributing to the promotion and expansion of improved on-farm irrigation technologies throughout the coastal area.

3.6 Summary of Findings of Beneficiary Survey and/or Stakeholder Workshops 83. In July of 2009 the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) of the Bank carried out the study An Impact Evaluation of a Multicomponent Irrigation Project on Farm Households in Peru, which, based on qualitative and quantitative surveys administered to beneficiaries, other farmers, PSI staff and others, investigated the impacts of the Project on agricultural productivity and economic welfare. These impacts correspond to PSI I. However, regarding components A and B, the study can be considered representative of the impacts of PSI II, since in both phases, activities were similar and there was no repetition of structural activities in the same area. As far as Component C is concerned, the impacts represent the joint effect of both phases, since it is not possible to isolate the effects of PSI I from PSI II.

84. The main conclusions of the IEG study can be summarized as follows:

(a) The impacts of components A, B and C2 increased labor demand, increased wage income and promoted changes in types of crops produced. Beneficiaries hired 27 percent more agricultural workers than the control group, and reflecting this, wage income for farm households in treatment localities increased by 47 percent per capita relative to farm households in control localities. The infrastructure component made a greater positive impact on the poor than the non-poor, although both groups hire more manual labor to work on their farms. About 40 percent of persons interviewed perceived the institutional strengthening component as the most successful in the program. A primary reason is that the training imparted created a culture of respect and compliance with the irrigation distribution schedule, helped ensure that fees were used for the O&M of water infrastructure, and raised awareness among water users of the importance of their economic contributions to further develop and maintain water facilities.

(b) On-farm irrigation improvement affected farmers in at least three ways. First, this component increased the proportion of agricultural output that was sold in the market (versus self-consumed) by 12 percent compared to control farmers; second, it increased the probability of growing permanent crops by 15 percent; and third, it improved production and productivity when off-farm irrigation infrastructure was also improved. The results for farmer extension and training are also positive on at least three dimensions; first, clear productivity increases; second, increases in the amount of output sold in the market; and third, increases in the production of export crops.

Page 37: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

25

(c) Impacts of the program differ depending on the initial wealth condition of farm households. Poor farmers are more likely to specialize in cultivating staple crops when off-farm components are implemented, while non-poor farmers are more likely to increase their production of industrial crops. The on-farm irrigation technology investments led poor farmers to increase their production of permanent crops, however, they had no changes in productivity. Lastly, farmer extension led to crop switching towards more export crops and increases in permanent crop cultivation, particularly for poor farmers.

4. Assessment of Risk to Development Outcome Rating: Substantial 85. The overall risk that Project development outcomes (WUAs performance) and impacts (increased productivity of irrigation) will not be maintained is substantial without appropriate, continuous support to WUAs.

External risks 86. Risks associated with increased water demand and climate change are moderate. In the last decades, water demand in the coastal area increased sharply due to sustained population and economic growth and irrigation development. Meanwhile, climate change has begun to affect the supply of water coming from glaciers. In the long term, climate change will most likely result in increased peak discharges and decreased average discharges of rivers. Combined, these changes may reduce the availability and increase the cost of water used for irrigation which could negatively impact land productivity of irrigation (water productivity would most likely be increased). The Project reduced the vulnerability of irrigation schemes to climate change and water scarcity risks:

(a) Traditionally, peak discharges in rivers cause damages on irrigation intakes (as demonstrated by El Nino events). The Project improved many of them, designing and constructing robust structures resistant to destructive floods.

(b) Irrigation schemes are also better prepared to face increased water scarcity because the capacity of WUAs and farmers to manage irrigation systems was improved (component C1) and farmers’ water rights were formalized, thereby legally securing their share of the resource (component D).

87. Risks associated with a drop in agricultural prices are moderate. A dramatic drop of agricultural prices would negatively affect Project outcomes and impacts, but the probability of such event occurring is small. Also, up to a certain extent, farmers can respond to price changes by growing crops demanded by the market, because irrigation networks improved by the Project were designed with great flexibility, allowing irrigation of almost all kinds of crops.

26

Internal risks 88. The capacity of WUAs to achieve self-sufficiency in technical, financial and administrative aspects has increased significantly during Project implementation (see para 68) and the risks that those achievements are not sustained is substantial without appropriate, continuous capacity building support.

89. For most of the 41 coastal WUAs which attained a good degree of sustainability the risk of management deterioration is substantial without stronger UCCs (see para 68). As mentioned in para 60, the Project promoted the creation, within the WUAs, of a Training and Communication Unit (UCC), with a small budget and dedicated staff, responsible for continuous capacity building of WUAs. However, these UCCs are still incipient and need to be consolidated with further support because UCCs have been created in only 34 WUAs and they are not sufficiently financed. PSI continues supporting the strengthening of those WUAs (and their UCCs) through JBIC and PROCOMAT projects. The problem is that PSI support to WUAs capacity building is, up to now, dependent on Government or donor funded projects, and its support is therefore not necessarily sustainable.

90. For the other poorer 23 WUAs (accounting for 34 per cent of WUAs in the coastal area), that mostly did not benefit from components A and B because they did not reach eligibility level, there is a substantial risk that improved WUA performance is not sustained without adequate, continuous support. This needs to be addressed through a clear commitment and with specific support mechanisms adapted to these poorer WUAs. As mentioned in para 59-62, three mechanisms are in place today to build the capacity of WUAs, but they are incipient or their future is uncertain:

(a) UCCs, but they have only been established in the best WUAs and should be complemented by external support, especially in the case of the least performing WUAs;

(b) The Peruvian National Board of WUAs, created in 1984, has recently engaged in promoting and developing capacity development of WUAs, creating its own incipient capacity development unit;

(c) PSI continues providing support to these poorer WUAs through PROCOMAT, which will close soon, but should be followed by another project. As mentioned above, an issue is that PSI support to WUAs capacity building is, up to now, dependent on Government or donor funded projects, and is therefore not necessarily a sustainable mechanism in the longer term.

5. Assessment of Bank and Borrower Performance

5.1 Bank Performance (a) Bank Performance in Ensuring Quality at Entry

Rating: Moderately Satisfactory 91. Bank performance in identification, preparation assistance and appraisal of the Project was moderately satisfactory. Project design was based on a correct diagnosis of the subsector and country context, and was in line with GOP priorities and the Bank’s CAS. PSI II was a supplemental project prepared to consolidate achievements made under PSI I and the same Bank team was in charge of supervising PSI I and preparing PSI II, which facilitated design and integration of lessons learned. The Project integrated approach to irrigation modernization was in line with international good practices. The Bank team foresaw correctly future government requests of studies related to water resources and included a subcomponent aimed at supporting those. Therefore, PSI II played an important role in updating the Water Resources Strategy, the preparation of the new Water Law and the formulation of the Bank-financed Water Resources Management Modernization project, approved by the Board in July 2009.

92. Notwithstanding, the Bank team was overly optimistic in evaluating the co-financing capacity of beneficiaries, farmers’ willingness and ability to form groups and beneficiaries capacity to prepare satisfactory pre-feasibility studies, (making it more difficult for WUAs and farmers to qualify for components A and B as compared to PSI I, while WUAs and farmers in PSI II area are weaker and poorer than in PSI I) which caused implementation delays and the non achievement of targets set for components A and B and (see para 34). With regard to the PDO, the Bank team should have recommended lower level objectives, focused on the institutional strengthening of WUAs, instead of impacts such as increased productivity which are difficult to attribute and therefore measure (see para 32). Also, while the Project environmental category was confirmed early during Project implementation, it was not approved by SAT before approval by the Board in June 2005 (see para 50). (b) Quality of Supervision

Rating: Moderately Satisfactory

93. Bank supervision missions were regular and instrumental in identifying problems, such as the causes of implementation delays (para 34, 38-41), and in agreeing with the implementing agencies on mitigation measures, such as the needs for workshops to train local consultants in the formulation of pre-feasibility studies according to new SNIP procedures (para 42-43). Supervision reports realistically rated Project’s performance in terms of achievement of its development objective and physical implementation. Supervision mission left detailed Aide Memoire to the Borrower and implementing agencies with clear recommendations. Because one of the implementing agencies, IRH, was less familiar with Bank procedures, special attention was paid to financing management and procurement aspects and staff training in these issues. However, despite detailed Aide-memoire, supervision missions failed convincing the Government of addressing the causes for implementation delays by relaxing the conditions

related to at least one of the following: (a) the need to constitute group to benefit from component B, (b) the cost sharing ratio for components A and B, (c) the need for beneficiaries to prepare pre-feasibility studies and (d) the competitive grant system for component B.

94. The Bank team formally restructured the Project twice in order to better respond to new Government priorities (i.e. irrigation development in the Sierra) and adjust performance targets to take into account delays in Project implementation. It rightly reassessed the need to trigger additional social and environmental safeguards (e.g. Indigenous People) when the Project expanded to the Sierra. With hindsight, the Bank team should have seized these restructuring opportunities to convince GOP to reformulate the PDO, so that it would focus on the institutional strengthening of WUAs.

95. The Bank team mobilized Trust Fund financing to: (a) carry out the Project Base line study, (b) design an Irrigation Benchmarking System (to better appreciate the relative performance of WUAs), (c) promote the position/role of women within WUAs/CRs in the 3 pilots in the Sierra (Cajamarca, Mantaro and Colca-Arequipa), and (d) to improve the insertion of small-scale farms in successful agro-supply chains in the Sierra (e.g. milk and dairy chain).

(c) Justification of Rating for Overall Bank Performance

Rating: Moderately Satisfactory 96. The Bank’s overall performance is considered moderately satisfactory as both the Bank performance during Project preparation and supervision were moderately satisfactory19.

5.2 Borrower Performance (a) Government Performance

Rating: Moderately Satisfactory 97. Government performance during Project preparation was moderately satisfactory. It participated actively in Project preparation. Ownership of the Project concept and approach by GOP is reflected in the fact that this approach had already been applied under PSI I and was subsequently applied to a JBIC financed project in the coastal area and to a World Bank financed Project in the Sierra.

98. Government performance during Project implementation was moderately satisfactory. GOP maintained its commitment throughout Project implementation:

(a) Its financial contribution to the Project was adequate and mostly timely;

(b) After years of discussion, the Water Law was approved in 2009 and the National Water Authority (ANA) was created in 2008. The National Water Right Registry (RADA) was also legally established during Project implementation;

29

(c) In a context of frequent changes in project coordinators, the Government assured Project stability by maintaining the same Project director of the overall implementing agency, PSI, as well as the Project coordinator of the other agency, IRH, and most technical staff of both agencies;

(d) Two amendments of the Loan Agreement were processed, albeit with delays on June 2007 and August 2008.

99. However, GOP did not show much flexibility in relaxing some of the conditions that were the main reasons for Project implementation delays and for not achieving the targets set for components A and B (see para 34). Also, it is not clear that it will put in place a mechanism/institution that will provide continuous/sustainable capacity building to WUAs in the coastal area (see para 89-90).

(b) Implementing Agency or Agencies Performance

Rating: Satisfactory 100. The performance of PSI as the Project’s main implementing agency and coordinating agency, and of IRH in charge of component D was satisfactory. They were committed to the Project and they established good relationships with the beneficiaries through the successful application of its demand-responsive and participatory approaches. PSI and IRH were instrumental in adjusting it to some changing circumstances (e.g. extension to the Sierra). They reacted correctly to unexpected difficulties like complications for formalizing water rights in the Sierra. They identified correctly the reasons for the slow rhythm of implementation of components A and B (the weakest point of Project implementation) and undertook corrective measures that substantially improved the pace of implementation, but could not catch-up with original targets. IRH, with the Project support, was very proactive in undertaking important studies related to the Water Resources Strategy, preparation of the Water Law, and the preparation of three new projects for Water Resources Management, Drainage and Small Dams, respectively. PSI carried out the Pre-feasibility Study of the new Sierra Irrigation project. Both agencies collaborated closely with the Bank on these studies. While PSI and IRH carried out procurement activities in a satisfactory manner, an extra effort should still be made to improve the procurement planning capacity of both agencies.

(c) Justification of Rating for Overall Borrower Performance

Rating: Moderately Satisfactory 101. The Borrower’s overall performance is considered moderately satisfactory19.

6. Lessons Learned 102. For irrigation projects aiming to build the capacity of WUOs and producers’ groups, it is important to focus the PDO on the changes that can be expected in those groups (e.g. financial, technical, organizational) through the intervention of the Project, and thus avoid setting higher-level development goals (e.g. increased agricultural productivity). This should be reflected in the M&E system and indicators. To measure the Project’s contribution to a higher-level objective, a separate impact evaluation study is necessary, and it is preferable, in this case, to have a clear impact evaluation strategy at Project design, including a baseline and control groups of non-beneficiaries.

103. The issue of capacity is critical and the scale of need is enormous, but appreciation of the problem is low. WUOs need to improve their capacity to plan, organize and manage their irrigation infrastructure and agricultural production systems, especially in a context of rapidly changing institutional and legal frameworks, and agricultural markets. In order to have a sustainable capacity building system that can count on reliable and realistic funding, it is recommended to address the potential role of different players (e.g. National Water Users Board, PSI, National Water Authority, NGOs, universities etc.) in its design, methodologies, funding sources (water users, NGOs, public and private sector, international cooperation) and other support mechanisms. Also, regional and local entities are expected to play an important role in enabling WUOs to enhance their capacities and effectiveness.

104. The participation of water users in subprojects (i.e. in the process of selecting, designing, executing and financing) is essential to ensure a sustainable O&M of the off-farm and on-farm irrigation infrastructure. However, as shown by the Project, there is a risk of overestimating their capacity to financially and technically contribute, which should be carefully estimated and verified at Project design, by taking into account the heterogeneous contexts of WUOs (e.g. regulated versus unregulated WUOs, coast versus sierra, etc.).

105. A competitive grant mechanism for selecting on-farm irrigation sub-projects has the risk of being slow and cumbersome, as shown by the Project, especially when the demand for on-farm technology improvement is small. To avoid slow project implementation, an alternative mechanism would be to select subprojects that meet a clear and widely disseminated set of criteria, on a first-come, first-served basis.

7. Comments on Issues Raised by Borrower/Implementing Agencies/Partners (a) Borrower/implementing agencies

106. The Borrower provided comments to the ICR which are included in Annex 8. It mentioned that the analysis made of the Project performance is thorough and adequate. It did not raise any particular issue.

Annex 2. Outputs by Component Component A. Rehabilitation and modernization of off-farm irrigation systems – (US$ 4.87 million, 93 percent of appraisal estimate) Area of Intervention. Component A was initially expected to operate in 20 of the 64 WUAs of the coastal area, once they had reached the eligibility criteria20. Most of these 20 WUAs had not benefited from component A under PSI I, and were among the weakest WUAs of the coastal area in terms of financial, technical and organizational capacity. During Project implementation, in response to the difficulty to generate subprojects in those WUAs, it was decided to expand the area of intervention to all the 64 coastal WUAs, as long as they met the eligibility criteria. In addition, the first amendment to the Loan Agreement extended the Project area to three WUAs in the Sierra. In the end, a total of 21 WUAs benefited from component A, 18 in the coastal area and 3 in the sierra. Table 2.1 shows the area of intervention of component A.

The average area per farm that benefited from component A was small: 3.4 ha in the coast and 0.9 ha in the Sierra.

20 ‘WUO Eligibility Criteria’ means the eligibility criteria established in order for WUO to benefit from components A and B of the Project; i.e.: (i) a technical manager has been appointed for the relevant WUO; (ii) a realistic budget reflected in water tariffs has been adopted allowing efficient operation and maintenance; (iii) the advanced water tariff payment system has been adopted; and (iv) at least 75% of said tariff has been paid in advance.

Outcomes. As can be seen in Table 2.2, three outcome targets were used to assess the performance of component A. The first two targets relate to the participation of beneficiaries to subproject cost and the other to the number of farmers’ families that benefited from the component.

1. Original and revised targets have been weighted in proportion to the share of actual loan disbursements made in the periods before and after approval of the revisions. 2. It is impossible to set a meaningful target for this indicator because the number of beneficiaries depends on the subprojects locations, which are only known during implementation as a result of a demand driven process. 3. WUAs contribution followed an increasing scale (from 30 to 35%). At appraisal, WUAs contribution target was set at about 30%. After Amendment 2, target was set considering a contribution of 35% (except for some small investments in the Sierra for which contribution was 20%). 4. It is impossible to set a meaningful target for this indicator because the number of beneficiaries depends on the subprojects locations, which are only known during implementation as a result of a demand driven process.

Beneficiaries’ participation in subproject costs was good, averaging 31% of component cost, broadly in line with subproject cost sharing rules of 30-35%. It represents a total value of US$1.49 million or 77% of target. The lower than expected total value of beneficiaries contribution is due to a lower than expected total cost of the component. The outcome target related to the number of beneficiaries was not reached. Three factors explain this shortcoming:

(a) It is almost impossible to set a meaningful target for the number of beneficiaries because it depends on the location of the subproject (the more upstream the

Page 47: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

35

subproject, the higher the number of beneficiaries) which becomes only known during implementation, as a result of a demand-driven process.

(b) The actual demand for subprojects was lower than expected because WUAs had

difficulty meeting their financial contribution to subprojects (30% of subproject cost the first year of Project implementation and 35% thereafter in the Coastal area; and 20% in the Sierra). This was particularly true for the poorest WUAs who generally get their water supply from unregulated rivers and have a water service and financial revenue limited to a few months per year21. In fact, out of 65 agreements signed between PSI and WUAs for the preparation of subprojects, more than 50% were canceled because WUAs could not gather their financial contribution. Hence, the level of effort deployed by component C1 to generate interest and to help WUAs develop subprojects was much higher than anticipated, and some funds had to be reallocated from component A to component C1. In the end, only 31 subprojects were actually implemented.

(c) The time required to prepare and implement a subproject was longer than

expected, due to: (i) the WUAs’ difficulty in collecting financial contributions and (ii) the WUAs difficulty in preparing good feasibility studies and technical design. The WUAs were responsible for the preparation of the feasibility studies and technical design of the subprojects. This certainly contributed to strengthening the capacity of WUAs, but at the same time, low-cost engineers were usually contracted and the resulting studies were of poor quality. This required detailed reviews and corrections by PSI staff, a process that significantly increased the time necessary to complete a subproject.

In order to alleviate the problems mentioned above, PSI has (a) extended the area of intervention of the component (see area of intervention above); (b) assisted WUAs in mobilizing support from national financial institutions; (c) encouraged regional and local governments to guarantee loans made to WUAs; and (d) organized workshops and training sessions for WUAs and local consultants on the preparation of feasibility studies and technical design. This helped speed-up implementation, but not enough to catch-up with targets. Contribution of Component A to the institutional strengthening of WUAs. An important result of Component A was its contribution to the strengthening of WUAs. This was done in three ways:

(a) Component A was designed as an incentive for WUAs to strengthen their performance. Indeed, in order to be eligible for component A, WUAs had to meet a number of eligibility criteria related to their performance22. This provided a strong incentive for WUAs to apply the lessons learned from component C1.

21 WUAs with unregulated river systems have much less financial resources because water users only pay during the few irrigation months (there is no irrigation during the rainy months) and the water tariff is based on the consumed irrigation water, through a tariff per irrigation turn or per hectare. Those “unregulated WUAs” have had difficulties to collect the financial contribution required for component A. 22 To be eligible, WUA had to: (a) have a technical manager, (b) a budget that allowed appropriate O&M of infrastructure, reflected in water tariff and (c) at least 75% of the water tariff was paid before water was delivered.

Page 48: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

36

Component C1, on the other hand, provided capacity building to WUAs to improve their overall performance and, in particular, helped them meet the eligibility criteria for component A.

(b) Subprojects had to be carried out following the community works procedures that

obliged WUAs to behave in an entrepreneurial manner, strengthening its capacity to implement civil works as well as its overall management capacity.

(c) Finally, WUAs were responsible for subproject feasibility studies and technical

design which, as mentioned above, strengthened their capacity, but at the same time, delayed considerably the implementation of the subprojects.

Contribution of Component A to the PDO. The component made a significant contribution to the PDO, as: (a) average income of farmers’ households who benefited from this component increased by 5% in real terms, or US$183 per year (at baseline, the average farmers household income that benefited from component A was US$3,647 per year) and (b) average productivity of the land that benefited from the component increased by 4% in real terms, or US$54/ha (at baseline, the average productivity of the farm that benefited from component A was US$ 1,530 per ha and per year). Increased household income and land productivity are explained by: (a) a moderate shift to higher value crops (overall, the cropped area under traditional crops decreased by 1%, while the area under vegetables increased by 14% and the area under fruit trees increased by 1%) and (b) increases in yields (vegetables: 0 to 3%; fruit trees: 0 to 5%; traditional crops: 0 to 5% with the exception of rice and sugarcane whose yields decreased by 8% and 3% respectively). The increase in total cropped area was insignificant. Despite higher unit costs than anticipated, the increase in land productivity led to an overall component EIRR of 16% and FIRR of 15.4% (see Annex 3). It should be noted however that the data on yields and therefore the component’s impacts on land productivity and farmers’ income, as well as component FIRR and EIRR should be considered with caution because only few years were available to measure impacts (one to three years), and, as there was no control group available, the evaluation is based on yields before and after subproject implementation. Therefore, these results should be considered as general trends and not definite results.

Component B. Incentive Program for On-Farm Irrigation Technology Improvement –(US$ 4.88 million, 74 percent of appraisal estimate) Area of Intervention. Table 2.3 shows the area of intervention of component B, originally designed to operate in the same 20 WUAs as component A. This condition was relaxed in order to speed-up the generation of subprojects, and the area of intervention was increased by an additional 8 WUAs (3 pilot WUAs in the Sierra as a result of first Project restructuring and 5

WUAs in the coastal area: Yura, Viru, Ica, Chincha and Pisco, the last 3 as a consequence of Písco´s earthquake of 2007). In the end, subprojects were implemented in 17 WUAs.

The average area per farm that benefited from component B was of 3.7 ha in the Coastal area and 0.7 ha in the Sierra. The average farmers’ group included 10 members in the Coastal area and 11 members in the Sierra.

Outcomes. As can been seen in table 2.4, five indicators and targets measure the performance of component B. The first two targets relate to the contribution of farmers to subproject costs, the second two targets relate to the number of households and irrigated area that benefited from the component and the last target relates to the amount of subsidy per ha improved.

Farmer contributions to subproject costs were good as they averaged 42% of component cost, exceeding the appraisal target set at 39%. However, they only represented a total value of US$2.05 million or 76% of weighted target, which is due to the lower than expected total cost of the component. Component B did not meet its original targets in terms of number of beneficiaries and improved irrigated area. This is mainly due to three factors:

(a) A lower than expected demand for component B due to very demanding eligibility conditions:

(b) Farmers’ groups had to cover 42% of subproject cost, equivalent to an average of US$1,393 US$ per ha. This is a large sum of money for many small and medium farmers, especially in a context of lack of credit. Furthermore, in addition to their financial contribution to irrigation subprojects, farmers were often required to make substantial investments to switch production to higher-value crops. Such additional investments were estimated at US$ 4,000 per ha.

(c) Only farmers groups of at least 6 farmers and with a total irrigated area of at least 24 ha were eligible for component B. However, constituting a group of farmers with neighboring plots, all interested in improving their on-farm irrigation systems at the same time, has proved very difficult and time consuming. For that reason, a lot of farmers interested in participating were not able to do so.

As a result of these difficulties, of the 82 subprojects that were selected through the competitive grants process only 34 (41%) materialized.

24 Component B financed two types of on-farm irrigation improvements: improved gravity systems (through multi-gates pipes) and pressurized systems (drip and sprinkler). Farmers clearly preferred drip irrigation. Notwithstanding its lower cost, improved gravity systems represented only 19% of the 48 subprojects implemented.

(a) The time required to prepare and implement a subproject was longer than expected25, due to the following factors:

(b) The difficulty in collecting farmers’ financial contribution (see above); (c) The continued increase of the price of oil and its derivates, reaching in August

2008 almost three times its value at the time of appraisal; (d) The competitive grant procedures for selecting beneficiaries, which proved to be

excessively rigid and slow; (e) Subproject studies were the responsibility of beneficiaries, who usually contracted

low cost engineers. This resulted in studies of poor quality that needed to be reviewed and corrected extensively by PSI staff, causing delays and increasing costs; and

(f) The LA was signed on October 2005, too late to include the project in the General Budget of Peru for 2006. While other components received national funds in advance, component B only got a budget in June 2006.

In order to alleviate these difficulties, PSI expanded the area of interventions of component B; supported farmers’ group in mobilizing financial support from various national financial institutions, encouraged regional and municipal governments to guarantee the loans contracted by farmers’ groups and promoted the association between farmers’ groups and agro-export firms to help farmers mobilize their financial contribution. This has significantly speeded up subprojects preparation and implementation, but was not enough to catch-up with targets. Contribution of Component B to the PDO. Component B made a significant contribution to the PDO, as: (a) average income of farmers’ households who benefited from this component increased by 150% in real terms or an additional US$7,172 per year (the average farmers household income that benefited from component B at baseline was US$4,683 per year) and (b) average productivity of the land that benefitted from the component increased by 155% or US$2,326/ha/year in real terms (the average productivity of the land that benefited from Component B was 1,470 US$/ha/year before the subprojects). Component B increased household income and land productivity through the following two channels (a) a strong shift from traditional crops, whose cropped area decreased by 22%, to higher-value crops, mainly fruit trees, whose cropped area increased by 58%, and vegetables, whose cropped area increased by 40%; and (b) a general increase in yields, not only for vegetables (40% increase for paprika, 36% for asparagus) and fruit trees (33% for avocado, 25% for lucuma), but also for the small area still dedicated to traditional crops (28% for maize). Despite higher unit costs than anticipated (cost per ha was on average 50% more than those estimated at appraisal), the significant increase in land productivity led to an overall EIRR of 51% and FIRR of 37% for the component. As for component A, it should be noted that the data on yields, impact on land productivity and farmers’ income, FIRR and EIRR should be considered with caution because only few years were available to measure impacts (one to three years), and, as there was no control group

25 The average time between the formation of interest groups and the execution of a sub-project turned out to be more than one year.

available the evaluation is based on yields before and after subprojects implementation. Therefore, these results should be considered as general trends and not definite results. An additional benefit of Component B is its demonstrative effects on medium and small farmers. Component B (both under PSI-I and PSI-II) contributed to the rapid expansion of drip irrigation seen in Peru over the last decade, expanding from some 8,000 hectares in 199826 to more than 100,000 hectares in 200927.

* A WUA is eligible when it has: (a) a technical manager, (b) a budget that allows appropriate O&M of infrastructure, reflected in water tariff and (c) at least 75% of the water tariff was paid before water was delivered . ** Sustainable is measured with a set of parameters grouped in 4 categories: (a) administrative/ management capacity; (b) technical capacity; (c) operational and logistical capacity and (d) financial capacity. See Annex 10 for more details on the definition of “sustainability”.

The subcomponent successfully consolidated the improvements achieved under PSI I in relation to the strengthening of WUAs. It improved the culture of payment for water service and of financing participation in infrastructure improvements that was introduced under PSI I. It also improved WUAs management tools and processes (e.g. elaboration of annual O&M plans and budgets, tariff recovery systems, evaluation of available water resources and planning of the irrigation season, use of information systems, etc.). As a result, out of 64 WUAs, 49 have reached eligibility level for component A and 41 have reached the “sustainability” level. Generally, WUAs qualified “non sustainable” are located in valleys where rivers are not regulated, and, therefore, have limited incomes through irrigation tariff. While the subcomponent exceeded its targets, there is a need for continuous capacity building of WUAs and for putting in place a permanent and formal monitoring and benchmarking system of WUAs. The improvement of the performance of “non sustainable” WUAs, still requires additional efforts. Some projects28 are working in that sense, but they have a limited

implementation period. Component C1 foresaw the following mechanism to ensure permanent support to WUAs: (a) the creation, within the WUAs, of Training and Communication Units (UCC for its Spanish acronym) responsible for the continuous capacity building of WUAs and, (b) the training of local irrigation authorities (ATDR for its Spanish acronym) in the monitoring of WUAs, in particular their annual O&M plans and training programs. In practice, however, these mechanisms are still insufficient and need to be consolidated with further support because UCCs have only been created in 34 WUAs and are not always sufficiently financed. It is therefore recommended that the GOP establish permanent mechanisms for the capacity building of WUAs and monitoring and benchmarking of their performance. Subcomponent C.2 Capacity Building of Farmers in on-farm irrigation improvements

Area of intervention. This sub-component promoted improved on-farm irrigation technologies in 43 WUAs in the coast and 3 WUAs in the sierra and was, this way, instrumental to the execution of component B. Outputs and Outcomes of Component C2.

The main outputs of this subcomponent are shown in Table 2.6

Due to the difficulty encountered generating on-farm irrigation improvement subprojects (see section on component B above), the level of effort deployed by component C2 was much higher than anticipated, and some funds had to be reallocated from component B to component C2. Component C2 through its initial awareness activities and field demonstrations to farmers, created 382 interest groups (including 5,437 farmers and covering 18,311 ha), i.e. groups of farmers expressing their interest in improved on-farm irrigation systems. Out of this, 175

farmers’ groups evolved into management groups (including 2,485 farmers and 8,170 ha), i.e. groups formed by farmers in neighboring plots, with a firmer commitment to implementing an on-farm irrigation improvement subproject and a collective business plan. Eventually, 48 of those benefited directly from component B (including 476 farmers and 1,468 ha) and 82 groups (including 833 farmers and 1,169 ha) benefited from on-farm irrigation improvement financed by the regional government of Arequipa. This process involved supporting farmers groups in the preparation of feasibility studies and technical design, including the preparation of a viable business plan. In addition to generate subprojects for component B, component C2:

(a) Provided technical assistance to farmers that benefited from component B, including the supervision of farmers’ groups business plans implemented by the agro-business operators, the supervision of the technical assistance on the O&M of the new on-farm irrigation systems provided by the firm that installed the system;

(b) Carried out an agricultural extension program, aimed at disseminating on-farm irrigation technologies and good agricultural practices related to pest management, using beneficiaries of component B as demonstration plots. This included the systematization of agriculture results obtained after the implementation of the subprojects and comparison with the baseline, and the organization of field trips (giras agronomicas) and field days (dias de campo).

Component D. Support to Water Resources Management. (US$ 7.16 million, 150 percent of appraisal estimate) Subcomponent D.1 Formalization of Water Rights.

As can be seen in Table 2.7 below, two targets were used to measure subcomponent performance: the number of agricultural water licenses (i.e. permanent water rights for irrigated areas) issued and, after amendment 1 of the loan agreement which extended the Project area to the Sierra, the number of irrigation plots with a license. A second indicator was formally introduced after Project extension in the Sierra to better reflect the increased level of efforts required to issue an agricultural water right in this region. For the same reason, the target for the number of water licenses was decreased.

While the Project reached its target related to the number of irrigation plots with a water license, it issued only 85 per cent of the target number of water rights. This is explained by Project extension to the Sierra. The time and cost of formalizing water rights in the Sierra proved much higher than in the coast, because:

(a) In the Sierra, many water rights are issued to a community of farmers, while in the coast all water rights had been issued to individual farmers. Issuing a water right to a community is more complex and time consuming as it involves identifying the irrigation plots of all farmers within the community. As a result, in the Sierra, the number of plots with a license is higher than the number of licenses; in the Coast, the number of licenses can be higher than the number of plots because some plots have two licenses, one for surface water and another for groundwater.

(b) In the Sierra, land is not cultivated in winter, reducing the time when field work can be carried out, while in the Coast, the land is cultivated year-round.

Thanks to the formalization of water rights, WUAs now have an updated registry of irrigators at the level of the irrigation committee (comite de regantes), along with their irrigated area and their water rights, which helped improve water distribution and billing and collection of water charges. In addition, the formalization of water rights is expected to encourage farmers’ investment in their plots and provide a powerful tool to improve water resources management at the basin level.

The national water rights registry (RADA) was created with its central unit in Lima (ANA headquarters) and 26 regional units located in the ALA (Administracion local de Aguas) and approximately 360,000 water rights were registered in its database (about 90% of appraisal target). The national water registry is considered completed at 75 per cent, because, while the hardware and software were purchased, RADA is running and the necessary minimum staff was recruited and trained, the central unit of the registry is still located in a temporary office in ANA headquarters. RADA is an essential tool for the administration of water rights and their use for improving irrigation and water resources management. Subcomponent D.3 Support to the implementation of the Water Resources Strategy.

Subcomponent D.3 provided technical assistance for: (a) updating the national Water Resources Management diagnostic and the National Water Resources Management Strategy, pending approval; (b) supporting the preparation of the new Water Resources Law, which was approved in March 2009 and (c) the pre-feasibility and feasibility studies of a Water Resources Management Modernization Program whose first phase is being supported by a World Bank financed Project29 and an Inter-American Development financed Project, both approved in July 2009. This program will support, in pilot basins, the establishment of river basin organizations (the new institutional arrangements for water resources management at the basin level) and the formulation of integrated, participatory, river basin plans using the shared vision planning methodology, a proven tool for conflict resolution. Through the above mentioned activities, Component D provided technical assistance to the National Water Resources Institute (IRH) which was upgraded to a National Water Authority (ANA) in 2008, with increased power, responsibilities, autonomy and financial resources.

Annex 3. Economic and Financial Analysis 1. Main findings An ex-post cost-benefit analysis was performed on a representative sample of 28 subprojects. This analysis estimates the Project economic internal rate of return (EIRR) at 20.5 per cent, corresponding to a net present value of US$ 14.7 million, and the financial internal rate of return (FIRR) at 16.7 per cent, corresponding to a net present value of US$7.2 million. Despite the data limitations mentioned further below these results demonstrate good returns on investments from both financial and economic points of view. The EIRR and FIRR calculated at Project closing are lower than those estimated at appraisal, which were 24.5 per cent and 25.5 per cent respectively. The lower internal rates of return are explained by the fact that the irrigated area improved by components A and B, from which Project benefits are estimated, is much smaller than anticipated, while the overall cost of irrigation improvements (components A, B, C and part of E combined) is similar to what was expected at appraisal. In other words, the unit cost of irrigation modernization (US$/ha) is much higher than anticipated. This is primariloy due to: (a) the slow implementation of infrastructure subprojects, which required much more awareness building and technical assistance than anticipated and (b) higher costs of materials and civil works due to increases in oil prices. The difference between the EIRR and FIRR at Project closing is explained by the following factors: (a) the absence of taxes on agricultural produces; and (b) the significant taxes on capital costs, incremental O&M expenditures and crop production costs. (i.e., investment costs and agricultural inputs were subject to a 19 per cent value added tax) and the low economic value of unskilled labor and energy (estimated at only 41 per cent and 66 per cent of their financial values respectively).

Field visits were conducted in each subproject to collect the information required to estimate main crop budgets and cropped areas for the “with” and “without” Project scenarios. Incremental net agricultural benefits for each subproject were estimated from these data. It should be noted that, in the absence of control group, the situation “before” the subproject was implemented was taken as a “proxy” for the “without” project scenario. This limitation can affect the analysis positively or negatively depending on the years considered. Another data limitation is that the “with” subproject scenarios were calculated from one to three years after subproject completion, which is not a sufficient time to appreciate full impacts of investments, especially in the case of new permanent crops. This data limitation underestimates Project benefits. Quantified Project benefits are the increase value of agricultural production resulting from: (a) increased yields and (b) shift to the production of higher value crops. It should be noted that the Project did not lead to an increase in the cropped area. Detailed net benefits for the main crops for each sample subproject are available in the Project file. Increases in yields and shift to the production of higher value crops were particularly marked in the case of on-farm irrigation improvements (Component B):

Quantified Project costs. Additional agricultural production is made possible by the combination of several Project interventions: (a) the rehabilitation and modernization of off-farm and on-farm irrigation infrastructure; (b) capacity building to improve irrigation management; and (c) support to agricultural production and marketing. All costs of these components have been included in the analysis. Other investments have a less direct impact on output in the Project area, such as overall Project implementation support. For these components benefits are more widely spread, so only a portion of the related costs was taken into account. The costs and benefits related to the formalization of water rights (Component D) were excluded from the analysis on the basis that they would be extremely difficult to quantify.

Based on the above the following investment and incremental O&M costs have been included in the overall Project financial and economic analyses: (a) cost of feasibility studies, technical designs, works and supervision of works linked to the rehabilitation and modernization of collective and on-farm irrigation infrastructure; (b) replacement costs of the infrastructure mentioned above; (c) additional crop production and harvesting costs related to increased agricultural production; (d) cost of capacity building of WUOs, farmers’ groups and farmers; and (e) 74 per cent of Project management costs, excluding the share related to water rights formalization. The financial and economic analysis of components A and B, when taken separately, only consider costs (a), (b) and (c) above.

Adjusting financial prices to economic values. The adjustment of financial prices to economic values was done using specific conversion factors provided by the Ministry of Finance. This concerns such items as unskilled labor and energy, for which the conversion factors are 0.41 and 0.66 respectively. In these cases, the specific conversion factors were applied directly to domestic market prices to obtain the economic value of the item. For the social price of the currency, a multiplying factor of 1.08 was established; for skill labor a coefficient of 0.9.

For the items for which no specific conversion factor was readily available the adjustments made to convert market prices to economic values included the elimination of the value added tax, the only direct tax affecting farming. The production of crops considered in the analysis does not benefit from subsidies.

Annex 7. Summary of Borrower’s ICR and/or Comments on Draft ICR 1. Contexto del Proyecto, Desarrollo De Los Objetivos y Diseño.

1.1. Contexto en la Valoración. El Perú es un país mega diverso que abarca una gran variedad de ecosistemas (climas, especies animales y vegetales) que lo diferencian del resto del mundo y le asignan ventajas competitivas sobre los demás países de la Costa del Pacifico, que junto a otros factores, condiciona las opciones tecnológicas a utilizar para el productor agrario. Por lo tanto, el sector agrario puede ser caracterizado bajo dos aspectos: 1. Disponibilidad de recursos naturales enfatizado en la superficie para uso agrícola y

dotación del recurso hídrico. 2. Tipología productiva que resulta de la combinación del nivel tecnológico y de

gestión para el aprovechamiento de estos recursos naturales. Nuestro país posee una superficie de 128.5 millones de hectáreas, del cual aproximadamente 15 millones de Ha (12% del territorio) corresponde a la región costa, de cuya extensión 700 mil Ha representa la superficie agrícola cultivada, con importantes ventajas por contar con buena infraestructura de transporte y productiva, lo cual ha facilitado el desarrollo del mercado de la agroexportación.

1.2. Objetivos Originales.

El objetivo del Proyecto es incrementar la producción y productividad de la agricultura de riego en el territorio costero del Prestatario, con el fin de mejorar el bienestar de los agricultores y contribuir a la mitigación de la pobreza.

1.3. Objetivos Revisados.

Los objetivos iniciales se modificaron, en razón a la ampliación de las metas físicas a 03 valles ubicados en la región sierra del país, no previstos inicialmente; asimismo, debido a la incorporación del componente de apoyo a la gestión de los Recursos Hídricos, cuya principal actividad es la formalización de los derechos de uso de agua y registro en una base única de datos.

1.4. Principales Beneficiarios.

De acuerdo al contrato de préstamo y estudio definitivo, el proyecto se diseñó para beneficiar a los usuarios de riego siguientes:

Mejoras en los Sistemas de Riego y Optimizar la Eficiencia en su Uso.

Page 70: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

Se estableció un ámbito de beneficiarios constituido por aproximadamente 19,000 agricultores agrupados en 20 juntas de usuarios, en una extensión de 51,175 Ha, de los cuales alrededor del 98% corresponde a la región costa y el 2% a la región sierra.

Implementación y Capacitación en Sistema de Riego Tecnificado. A través del proyecto se determinó la implementación de 40 sistemas de riego tecnificado a nivel parcelario, que beneficiará a 508 agricultores en una extensión de 1,882 Ha. tanto en la región costa como en una parte mínima en la región sierra del país.

Ordenamiento y Formalización de la Gestión de los Recursos Hídricos.

El proyecto consideró entre sus metas el reordenamiento y formalización para el adecuado manejo de los recursos hídricos, para lo cual se determinó la formalización y entrega de licencias para el uso de agua para riego a 160,000 agricultores (95,000 en la región costa y 65,000 en la región sierra), asimismo se estableció la formalización de 244,000 predios (95,000 en la costa y 149,000 en la región sierra) en beneficio de igual número de agricultores.

1.5 Componentes Originales.

Componente A: REHABILITACIÓN Y MEJORAMIENTO DE LOS SISTEMAS DE RIEGO.

Se orientó a la ejecución de obras de mejoramiento y rehabilitación de las redes de riego existentes incluyendo bocatomas, canales principales y secundarios con sus obras de arte, defensas ribereñas respectivas y otras obras menores, con la finalidad de mejorar las condiciones existentes de la infraestructura hidráulica, que incrementará su capacidad de captación o conducción mediante un diseño acorde con los requerimientos y necesidades actuales.

Componente B: RIEGO TECNIFICADO.

Consiste en implementar sistemas de riego tecnificado a nivel parcelario, a efecto de promover la adopción de técnicas modernas de riego que permitan incrementar la eficiencia de aplicación del agua y su consiguiente ahorro, el uso más intenso de la tierra disponible, el incremento de la producción y por ende mejorar el ingreso de los pequeños y medianos agricultores vinculados y agrupados por sistemas comunes de riego.

Componente C: FORTALECIMIENTO INSTITUCIONAL Y DESARROLLO DE CAPACIDADES DE RIEGO.

Sub Componente C1: Fortalecimiento institucional de las JUs.

Este sub componente actuará como un medio de aprendizaje en todas las Juntas de Usuarios de la Costa, aunque con un grado diferente de intensidad. Para las JUs que ya han conseguido la elegibilidad, se diseñará un programa de actividades mínimas

Page 71: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

59

destinadas a consolidar lo ya conseguido, con lo cual la capacitación proporcionada por el proyecto se daría por concluida. En todo caso se considera que capacitaciones futuras serán asumidas por las propias Junta de Usuarios, a través de su unidad de capacitación.

Sub Componente C2: Asistencia Técnica en Riego Tecnificado. La difusión en riego y asistencia técnica tiene como objetivo fomentar el uso de técnicas modernas en riego, así como articular la oferta y demanda de este tipo de servicios, promoviendo la asociación de los agricultores, con el fin de lograr mayor producción y productividad. Si bien la difusión en riego se ofrece de manera gratuita (más con fines de difusión), la asistencia técnica es pagada por el agricultor, con lo cual se desarrolla la oferta de este tipo de servicios.

Componente D: APOYO A LA GESTIÓN DE RECURSOS HÍDRICOS

Consiste en incrementar el número de productores (190,000 con este programa) con derechos de agua con el cual puedan registrarse adecuadamente en su Junta de Usuarios o Comité de Regantes lo que permitirá a éstos últimos tener una mejor información para su gestión y a los productores una seguridad jurídica que pueda ser utilizada en accesos a financiamientos. La actividad incluye el proceso mismo de la formalización y el reforzamiento de la infraestructura que permita el registro de un mínimo de 400,000 predios.

1.6. Componentes Revisados.

El proyecto comprende desarrollar actividades elementales y complementarios en diferentes

valles de la costa y una mínima parte en la región sierra, conforme los detalles siguientes:

El Componente A. Mejoramiento de Infraestructura de Riego; adicional a las obras programadas en los valles de la Costa, se consideró la ejecución de 04 obras comunitarias en la región Sierra: 01 en Chonta - Cajamarca, 01 en Mantaro - Junín y 02 en el valle de Colca - Chivay en Arequipa; su financiamiento se estimó en US.$ 320,000 a razón de aproximadamente US$ 80,000 por obra.

El Componente B. Riego Tecnificado; se consideró la implementación de un aproximado de 60 ha con sistemas de riego tecnificado en la Sierra, tentativamente 20 ha en Chonta-Cajamarca, 20 ha en Mantaro-Junín y las restantes 20 ha en Colca-Arequipa con un aporte del proyecto de US$ 162,000 a razón de US$ 2,700 por ha. Se utilizó la misma estrategia de ejecución, mediante concursos públicos para riego tecnificado.

En el Sub-Componente C.1. Fortalecimiento institucional de las organizaciones de usuarios de agua; se continuó con su propia estrategia y metodología de intervención. Sin embargo, dadas las notorias diferencias entre las organizaciones de usuarios de la Costa con las de la región de la Sierra, este sub-componente se concentró básicamente en el fortalecimiento institucional de dichas organizaciones en lo que respecta a organización, adecuación y uso de los instrumentos de gestión; se desarrollo intensa

capacitación-sensibilización en materia de normas legales relacionadas con la gestión del recurso hídrico.

En el Sub-Componente C.2. Asistencia Técnica a los Agricultores de Riego; el PERAT a nivel de costa y ampliación de metas en la región sierra, se concentra en los agricultores beneficiados con el Programa de Incentivos de Riego Tecnificado.

En el componente D. Apoyo a la Gestión de los Recursos Hídricos; Consideró la formalización de 25,000 derechos de uso de agua en el nuevo ámbito propuesto en la primera enmienda, dirigido a la región sierra, específicamente en los valles de Mantaro en Junín, Chonta en Cajamarca y Colca en Arequipa.

1.7. Otros cambios significativos.

A diferencia de las modificaciones en los componentes antes descritos, que modificó

significativamente el ámbito, presupuesto, metas físicas y otros; no se registró otra modificación que haya tenido relevancia para el proyecto.

2. Factores que afectan la implementación y resultados 2.1. Formulación, Diseño y Calidad del Proyecto.

El proyecto se diseñó y elaboró con la suficiente característica y consistencia técnica, dentro de los estándares establecidos conforme a los lineamientos del organismo cooperante y exigencias del SNIP por parte del Estado. Así también, el proyecto consideró importantes ingredientes extraídos de las experiencias de otros proyectos antes concluidos.

2.2. Implementación. Se obtuvieron importantes resultados conforme lo replanteado en las enmiendas validadas por el Banco Mundial; no obstante, haberse presentado algunas dificultades durante el inicio de la fase de ejecución, como la demora en la transferencia de los recursos presupuestales, significando retrasos en el inicio del proyecto; igualmente se presentó dificultades por parte de los beneficiarios en la disposición de la contrapartida; así también, los usuarios tampoco presentaron en su debido tiempo los expedientes o perfiles, no obstante algunos de ellos contenían deficiencias, que la UCPSI asumió las correcciones y viabilización, específicamente para el caso de los Componentes A y B.

Implementación del Componente A:

Se ejecutó 31 obras que benefició a 11,062 familias con una extensión de 37,325 ha en tierras de cultivos. Durante el proceso de ejecución se dio a conocer que una de las principales limitaciones para la implementación de este componente, fue la demora por parte de las JUs en contribuir con el 34% en lo que correspondió a su aporte como contraparte y en la elaboración de sus expedientes técnicos; en otros casos no consiguen

Page 73: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

61

reunir sus recursos y renuncian a ejecutar las obras que inicialmente se consideró. Experiencia que fue evaluado durante la fase de diseño e implementación para el PSI-Sierra.

Implementación del Componente B:

Sobre las actividades comprometidas, en algunos casos, igualmente registró retrasos debido a demoras por parte de los propios beneficiarios, al no entregar oportunamente sus expedientes, e incluso en varios casos se tuvieron que efectuar algunas correcciones a expedientes técnicos presentados, por detectarse inconsistencias en su contenido; asimismo, durante la ejecución se presentó otra dificultad no previsto relacionado al incremento del costo de las obras como consecuencia del aumento del precio de elementos derivados del petróleo y otros; otro de los motivos de los retrasos fue por la falta de entrega oportuna de los materiales adquiridos para la implementación de los sistemas de riego.

Implementación del Sub Componente C.1:

Se logró la elegibilidad de 49 juntas de usuarios; así también, en las organizaciones intervenidas se alcanzó un incremento en el nivel de recaudación de la tarifa agraria por el orden del 84.5%. Teniendo en cuenta que los recursos se agotó en abril del 2008, y con la finalidad de no interrumpir las actividades de este Sub Componente, se requirió la reprogramación de un adicional proveniente del Tesoro Público a través de la OPA - MINAG. Así también, en 34 JUs se constituyó Unidades de Capacitación y Comunicación (UCC), cuyas labores debe garantizar la capacitación permanente en las organizaciones de usuarios, y se desarrolló 409 eventos de extensión que permitió beneficiar a 5,826 agricultores.

Implementación del Subcomponente C.2:

Las actividades comprendieron haber desarrollado 838 eventos de sensibilización, logrando la participación de 14,838 agricultores. A lo largo del proceso de ejecución del proyecto, se conformo 175 grupos de gestión empresarial. Respecto a las actividades de extensión se cumplió con realizar 409 eventos extensión en riego tecnificado, lográndose la participación de 5,826 agricultores participantes; así también se capacitó a 1,358 agricultores como asistentes técnicos.

Implementación del Componente D: Las metas del componente consideró la entrega de 160,000 licencias de derechos de uso de agua, es decir 95,000 en organizaciones de usuarios de la región Costa y 65,000 licencias para usuarios ubicados en la Sierra; además de efectuar la formalización de 244,000 predios, 95,000 en la Costa y 149,000 en la Sierra. Al 30 de junio del 2009 se logró efectivizar la entrega de 162,559 licencias (96,306 en la Costa y 66,253 en la Sierra), también se logró la formalización de 246,917 predios. Los resultados se logró debido a la asignación de los recursos presupuestales considerados en la enmienda 2, posibilitando el cumplimiento y superación de las metas comprometidas.

6 Lecciones Aprendidas.

1º La necesidad de incorporar como parte de la ejecución del proyecto a los propios beneficiarios sea como co-ejecutores y/o co-financiadores es importante, en razón que está demostrado que los sistemas y procesos sólo pueden ser sostenibles si los actores forman parte de la inversión, son directo beneficiarios de algún propósito o pasan a ser dueños de ellos. Esta afirmación se desprende del hecho que el diseño que el PSI consideró el aporte financiero de las organizaciones de usuarios en los costos de las obras de rehabilitación y mejoramiento de los sistemas de riego, instalación de sistemas de riego tecnificado y la participación del personal en general en el fortalecimiento de las organizaciones de usuarios, inédito respecto de otros proyectos similares que no han sido sostenibles en el tiempo.

Existe alta probabilidad que los logros obtenidos se mantengan e inclusive se fortalezcan porque existe la clara percepción de los beneficiarios respecto a la confiabilidad de las obras ejecutadas y por haber tenido participación y conocimientos directo sobre la forma como se han ejecutado las actividades del proyecto.

2º El diseño de este tipo de proyectos debe basarse en un diagnóstico exhaustivo de la

problemática incidiendo principalmente en la caracterización técnica, económica, educacional, cultural y social de los actores o beneficiarios (grupo meta). Esta condición resulta importante para poder diseñar la estrategia y metodología más adecuada.

3º La definición clara y precisa de la interdependencia que debe haber entre sus

componentes y el ámbito de actuación del proyecto, de modo que converjan sobre dicho ámbito y obedezcan a un mismo objetivo común. Esto es una condición necesaria porque de esta manera se logran establecer sinergias entre los componentes y se evita que cada uno de ellos actúe en forma independiente y se perciban como proyectos separados del resto.

4º El logro de una fuerte identificación y sinergia entre el personal del proyecto con la

población objetivo es una condición muy favorable para conseguir sus objetivos, resultados y metas, que pueden ser obtenidas mediante el trabajo conjunto entre ejecutores y beneficiarios.

5º La supervisión periódica de agentes especializados externos, es importante para que de

manera imparcial evalúe y oriente el avance del mismo. Si bien, un proyecto puede ser eficiente en su ejecución, existen aspectos y situaciones que pueden limitar su marcha normal y que desde dentro de la organización no pueden ser solucionados. En estos casos

Page 81: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

69

resulta trascendental la participación de dichas misiones que permiten dar soluciones rápidas y expeditivas los problemas presentados.

6º La necesidad que los proyectos incorporen, durante su formulación y ejecución, sea con

mecanismos de coordinación y/o de participación, a aquellas instituciones públicas y privadas que directamente tienen relación con los fines y sus beneficiarios.

7º La recomendación para que futuros proyectos de estas características trabajen con mayor

incidencia a nivel de usuarios, es pertinente dado que la cultura tradicional dominante de estos actores constituye una debilidad para la sostenibilidad de sus logros y resultados. Es necesario reforzar el cambio de actitud de los beneficiarios no solo con procesos de sensibilización sino también con otros mecanismos de comunicación y difusión masiva.

Total 23.141 23.792 103 6°. En términos generales el proyecto representa una rentabilidad que crea las condiciones para

posibilitar el bienestar económico de manera directa a los agricultores beneficiarios agrupados en 22 juntas de usuarios del Componente A y 17 juntas de usuarios del Componente B; que de acuerdo a las proyecciones el nivel de producción y productividad se incrementaría en un 15%, puesto que se incrementa e intensifica el uso adecuado de las tierras de cultivos; además que se logra un 85% de eficiencia en la conducción del agua de riego. Resultados que se demuestra a través del 16.7% de la rentabilidad financiera y 20.5% la rentabilidad económica del proyecto en general.

7°. Durante la ejecución del proyecto, se emite la Ley Nº 28585 que crea el Programa de Riego

Tecnificado, mediante el cual se fortaleció los niveles de gestión del Programa Subsectorial de Irrigaciones - PSI, con dicha norma se fortifica y consolida su condición de promotor en la ejecución de proyectos de riego tecnificado a través de los Gobiernos Regionales y Locales; la acotada norma le atribuye la condición de Ente Rector del programa.

8°. Los retrasos durante la ejecución del proyecto, se debió básicamente a tres factores: 1)

limitaciones de los beneficiarios en conseguir recursos financieros para aportar su contrapartida y el incremento del precio del petróleo que aumento los costos de inversión de los proyectos de riego tecnificado; 2) La elaboración de los estudios de pre inversión y definitivos fueron asumidos por los propios usuarios y beneficiarios y en muchos casos se tuvieron que reformular; lo que ocasionó retrasos en la ejecución, 3) Demasiado tiempo para tramitar la aprobación de las dos enmiendas.

9º Adicionalmente se puede considerar lo siguiente:

• Considerar en la formulación de futuros estudios personal especializado que se dedique a la gestión de acceso al crédito de los posibles beneficiarios de los PIPs del componente de Riego tecnificado.

• Aplicar, en lo posible, la modalidad de ejecución de “Obras Comunitarias” para los PIP’s de rehabilitación y mejoramiento de infraestructura de riego, dado que los costos de inversión y plazos de ejecución se reducen y las OUA’s adquieren experiencia en su administración y gestión, generándose nuevas capacidades en ellas.

Page 84: World Bank Documentdocuments1.worldbank.org/curated/en/589721468327549230/... · 2016. 7. 12. · 17 05/19/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory 57.80 18 09/05/2002 Satisfactory Satisfactory

72

• En riego tecnificado, la modalidad y estrategia de ejecución debe ser flexible, como por ejemplo el sistema “Llave en Mano” a través de concursos públicos, permitiendo la libre elección de los grupos de gestión respecto del costo máximo de los PIP’s, monto de los incentivos, número de beneficiarios por grupo de riego tecnificado, tipo de riego tecnificado. Considerar establecer la modalidad de ventanilla única (abierta).

• Los mecanismos de control de los indicadores establecidos deben estar claramente definidos a fin de llevar un adecuado seguimiento del proyecto y evaluación expost.

• El Manual de Operaciones del Proyecto debe ser de conocimiento de los actores, incluyendo a los beneficiarios. Por tanto, el documento debe ser elaborado en forma sencilla y práctica para que sea entendible y aplicable.
