I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING

1. The project has maintained good implementation performance. The current rating for progress towards the PDO is Satisfactory and that for implementation progress is Moderately Satisfactory. So far, the total number of direct project beneficiaries stands at 21,160 smallholders, of which 8,040 (38 percent) are women. Rice and maize yields have increased from, 1.1 mt/ha to 1.56 mt/ha, and from 1.2 mt/ha to 1.67 mt/ha respectively in project year 2 (PY2), and the area under cultivation using improved planting materials has increased from 7,707 ha in 2017 (PY1) to 18,927 ha by the end of 2018 (PY2). The volume of commodities traded by the smallholders has increased by 9.7 percent, 46.2 percent, 63.4 percent, and 82.2 percent respectively for rice, cocoa, palm oil and maze between 2017 and 2018. The number of out-growers linked to project-supported agribusinesses has increased significantly from 3,663 in PY1 to 18,254 in PY2. For the market access improvement component, the project has supported the rehabilitation and maintenance of 166.5 km of feeder roads, including the construction of 119 culverts and 6 bridges, thereby providing year-round access to farms, markets, schools and health centers for 77 communities in nine (9) districts. Average travel time on these roads has seen a significant reduction by 97.5 percent, from 20min/km to about 2min/km. Furthermore, the project has completed the Prioritization and Assessment Study to improve and maintain additional 523km of selected feeder roads. The conceptual design and engineering designs for the selected roads have been completed with bidding documents, and the project has rolled out the bidding process and subsequently awarded contracts for the rehabilitation and maintenance of the first set of 143km in six (6) districts. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been completed for all the prioritized roads and publicly disclosed.

2. Other key activities accomplished include a study to assess the agribusiness/out-grower landscape in Sierra Leone, which has helped the project to develop a national framework to successfully guide the operation of out-grower schemes and contract farming arrangements in Sierra Leone. This framework is serving as a guideline for the creation of effective and mutually-beneficial long-term partnership arrangements between smallholder farmers, nucleus commercial farmers and agro-processors and exporters. The Agricultural Loan Scheme (ALS), which was designed to deepen farmers access to funds for inputs and services, has however experienced persistent challenges in its operationalization and so has not yet been disbursed. The scheme is therefore proposed for restructuring. The Results framework presented Section IV presents the details of project results.

3. Current disbursement for IDA credit is US$16.61 million (about 42 percent) with an additional US$4.7 million being committed in the contracts for the rehabilitation of the 143km of feeder roads for which the contracts have been awarded. After confirming the co-financier, the Bank has disbursed the entire US$1.8million of the TF to enable the client to document expenses already incurred under the Trust Fund before it closed on May 30, 2019.

4. The Rationale for the restructuring. This will be the second restructuring of the project. The first restructuring, in August 2018, enabled the project to admit a Trust Fund contribution from DfID. It also necessitated an amendment to the Credit Agreement to change the eligible percentage for the expenditure Category 6 of the Withdrawal Schedule as the DfID contribution did not exactly meet the 40:60 percentage contributions between IDA and DfID as was envisaged at


Appraisal. The second restructuring will address the current implementation challenges to speed project implementation.

5. The proposed restructuring will include the following changes: (i) downsize the length of feeder roads from 500km to be rehabilitated and maintained to the available funding covering an estimated 300km while we finalize the preparation of additional financing. The AF if approved would amongst other things fill the funding gap that has resulted from the cost over-run and the withdrawal of the co-financier’s funding of the feeder roads component. The Additional Financing would fund the construction of priority rural bridges to link production areas to markets; (ii) modify the agricultural loan scheme category, which is yet to take off, to support activities that would provide support for the development and pilot-testing of agriculture-specific financial products and services as well as digital saving schemes to enhance financial inclusion, with the approval of the Central Bank of Sierra Leone, (iii) reallocate credit proceeds between expenditure categories, including the undisbursed balance of the Project Preparation Facility (PPF); (iv) refine some results indicators whose measurement and attribution to the project are difficult – this will also include adjustments to both the key outcome (PDO) and intermediate indicators; (v) include an additional sub-component under the Project Management Component to focus on the management of environmental and social safeguards risks; (vi) include a Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC); and (vi) improve the gender dimension of the project and include the recommendations from the GBV assessment that was recently conducted on the Sierra Leone portfolio.

6. This is a level two restructuring. The PDO would remain unchanged and there would be no changes in the safeguards category (Category B) of the project.

II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

A. Project Development Objective

7. There is no change in the project development objective. The Results Framework of the project is revised as presented in Section IV.

B. Change to Components

8. The components structure of the parent project will remain the same. However, under Sub-component A2, the Agricultural Loan Scheme (ALS) has been dropped and replaced by two activities: (i) support for the development and testing of agricultural loan products and, (ii) the promotion of electronic input voucher systems with a digital savings system. Moreover, subcomponent is added to component D to enhance safeguards implementation and monitoring and GBV risk mitigation. Furthermore, a contingency emergency response component (CERC) is added to enhance the readiness of the project to support emergency situations.

9. Component A: Support for Agri-business-farmer Linkages and Small and Medium Scale Enterprises along selected agricultural value chains. The component would continue to have two sub-components of which only the second one is being proposed for modification. Under Sub-component A2, the Agribusiness Services Matching Grant scheme (ASMG), which supports postharvest management, farmer aggregation and market linkages between producers and off takers, would be up-scaled from US$2.0 million to US$2.67 million to enhance the project’s interventions in providing marketing linkages for smallholders through off-taker arrangements. The ASMG would also include the activities to support aggregation structures under Sub-component B.2 of the original project to allow for the consolidation of similar activities. The ASMG also benefits from the reallocation of the unutilized balance of the Project Preparation Facility (PPF).

10. The Agricultural Loan Scheme (ALS), which also falls under sub-component A.2 would be dropped as the approach


(concessionary interest rates) was not found to be technically sound and has faced implementation challenges. Currently, the availability of suitable loan products from financial institutions that are easily accessible to farmers and agribusiness - Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises (SMEs) is very limited. The low understanding of the agricultural sector by financial service providers and the absence of properly structured products and processes increases the perception of risks amongst commercial bank’s loan officers, credit committee members and boards, and led to low financing of the agricultural sector. New activities proposed under the restructured ALS category would include: (i) supporting a competitively selected financial institution to develop and pilot agricultural loan products with special attention to lending products that will target women; and (ii) the implementation of an e-voucher system for inputs based on digital savings, which would enable farmers to get access to quality inputs in a sustainable way and facilitate their integration into input and financial markets.

11. Support the development and piloting of new agricultural lending products for agriculture and agribusinesses. This new activity will support competitively selected financial institutions to develop and pilot-test new agricultural lending products and delivery mechanisms that respond to the specific needs of farmers, agribusiness SMEs, and women. Simultaneously, the activity would strengthen the capacity of participating financial institutions to service the sector and enable farmers to gradually access sustainable sources of finance. These could include lending products but also savings schemes that would help farmers to mobilize their own resources to purchase inputs and equipment or to save up their contribution to the matching grants provided by SCADeP.

12. E-voucher scheme. This activity will include the design and establishment of an electronic voucher platform, and the procurement of improved inputs for distribution to beneficiary farmers to pilot the scheme. The Electronic Input Voucher will be coupled with a digitally-enabled savings scheme that will incentivize farmers to save up an increasing share of the input costs over time. This digital scheme will be developed in partnership with Financial Technology (FinTecs) service providers, the Bank of Sierra Leone (BSL), financial institutions and inputs dealers. At the same time, it would generate a track record in terms of savings behavior which could qualify farmers to eventually borrow from financial institutions. The implementation of such scheme would be subject to the success of the pilot and its approval by the Bank of Sierra Leone.

13. Finally, technical assistance to Producer Organizations (POs) and value chain development services for farmers and other actors in the value chain would be consolidated under Sub-Component A.2. The provision of value chain development services under Component C would be dropped.

14. Component B: Market Access Improvement. The activities under Sub-component B.1 (Feeder roads rehabilitation and maintenance), would remain but the targets will be reduced from 500km to 300km.

15. The Government of Sierra Leone has proposed to downsize the activities under Sub-Component B.1 to fit the available funding, while efforts are made to finalize the preparation of the proposed Additional Financing to fill the financing gap. Therefore, total length of feeder roads originally identified to be rehabilitated and maintained under the project would be reduced from 500km to at least 300km.

16. The activities under Sub-component B.2. would be restructured to focus only on ICT to facilitate market coordination. The restructured Sub-component B.2 will be referred to as ICT and Market Information Systems. Support to aggregation structures which was part of this sub-component is now consolidated in Sub-component A.2, as described above.

17. Component C: Capacity building support for state and non-state institutions and producer organizations. Activities relating to value chain support services would be supported under Sub-component A.2. Funding would be reallocated to Component D to increase the allocation for operational costs to cover additional tasks, including the recruitment of a Social Safeguards Specialist to augment the safeguards capacity of the Project Coordination Unit. Furthermore, the project would be focusing its support to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) on the promotion


of Climate Smart Agriculture interventions. Finally, support to MAF would be increased to enhance the gender and nutrition unit (called Women in Agriculture unit) of the Ministry to improve their capacity to oversee gender analysis and the implementation of gender-sensitive activities.

18. Component D: Project Management, Monitoring and evaluation. A new sub-component (D.3) would be created to reflect the additional emphasis placed on safeguards implementation and monitoring.

19. Reallocations of funds to Sub-Component D.1 (Project implementation coordination) would include the following: (i) US$1 million from the value chain services allocation under Component C; and (ii) US$0.271 million from the PPF.

20. New Sub-component D.3 (Social and environmental risk management). The project has in a place a functional safeguard team that includes the PCU safeguards specialists and focal persons at community level. To strengthen that team, the sub-component would support the recruitment of a Social Specialist to complement the capacity of the Project’s Environmental Safeguards Specialist to manage the project’s environmental and social risks and impacts. The sub-component would finance a gender analysis to update the project’s gender strategy and improve the project’s social accountability and Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRM). The sub-component would also finance training and capacity building activities on safeguards and gender mainstreaming (including GBV). Finally, it would finance the preparation and finalization of the required safeguards instruments such as Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) and Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs).

21. Component E: Contingency Emergency Response. This new component, a Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC), would be available should the need arise to redirect some project resources to respond to an eligible emergency or crisis. If such a crisis develops, the government may request the World Bank to reallocate project funds to cover some costs of emergency response and recovery. Detailed operational guidelines acceptable to the World Bank for implementing the CERC will be prepared as a disbursement condition for this component. All expenditures under the CERC will be in accordance with paragraphs 11, 12, and 13 of World Bank OP10.00 (Investment Project Financing). They will be appraised and reviewed to determine if they are acceptable to the World Bank before any disbursement is made. Disbursements will be made against an approved list of goods, works, and services required to support crisis mitigation, response, recovery, and reconstruction. In case this component is to be used, the project will be restructured to re-allocate financing.

22. The details of the allocations for components by source of funding are shown in Table 1. See also Annex 1B for the revised project cost estimates by category.

C. Institutional and Project Coordination Arrangements

23. The Project Coordination Unit (PCU) established under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry would continue to coordinate the implementation of project, as defined in the original project.

D. Disbursement Categories

24. The revised disbursement categories and the reallocation of the project proceeds, reflecting the changes described above, and including the description of the revised disbursement categories, are provided in Section IV.

E. Change in Results Framework

25. The Results Framework has been updated and targets and indicators have been revised to reflect the project restructuring. New indicators have been introduced, among others, to capture: (i) gender mainstreaming in road rehabilitation and maintenance; (ii) GBV; and (iii) citizen engagement. Moreover, some outcome and intermediate level indicators and targets have been refined to reflect the changes made to the project structure. Results from the project baseline studies that was conducted in Project Year One (PY1) also provide a sound basis for retrofitting the project baseline. All indicators have been gender disaggregated where applicable. Detailed changes are shown in the results framework below.

26. For the outcome level indicators, the changes would include the following:

a. Direct Beneficiaries. This indictor is redefined to include all actors that receive benefits directly from the project or through its partners. As such this will include recipients of grants from the Sierra Leone Agribusiness Development Fund (SLADF), all members of out-grower groups or individual out-growers that receive support


services acquired with project funds through agribusinesses supported by the project. It also includes all members of Producer Organizations that will receive support as aggregators/sub groups of aggregators, as well as all actors provided with training and capacity building support.

b. Increase in the yield of targeted commodities by direct project beneficiaries. This indicator would be refined to take into account the specificity of the targeted value chains, as follows: (i) for rice, maize, vegetables and other annual crops, there will be changes in the end of project target. Also, the baseline data will be replaced with actual information from the project baseline studies, (ii) for poultry, the yield indicator will be refined and disaggregated to improve its clarity and measurability. For ease of measurement it will be disaggregated into a new indicator for layers (Hen day egg production (percentage) for eggs) and broilers (Average life (dressed) weight - feed use efficiency (Broilers/meat)); and (iii) for cocoa, oil palm and other perennial/trees crops that take more than three years to produce, and yield gains are likely to occur beyond the project duration, the indicator would be dropped and replaced with an output indicator at the intermediate level to capture the area cultivated; and

c. Increase in marketed volume and values of commodities by producer organizations to agribusinesses. This indicator will be adjusted to measure only the increase in quantity of products sold and to drop that for increase in value, because farmers do not have control over prices. Moreover, the end of project target for the increase in quantity of produce sold will be increased.
