[null,null,"Project Summary: ","The proposed project aims to overcome barriers to addressing immediate and long term adaptation needs in the water sector in Turkmenistan in order to achieve greater water efficiency and productivity under climate change induced aridification. The project will therefore aim to strengthen water management practices at national and local levels in response to climate change induced water scarcity risks to local farming systems in Turkmenistan. The project takes a comprehensive approach towards achieving this objective by encompassing national level water policy and local community level action to improve water efficiency and supply services."]

The principal reason for this is that the project has not achieved official registration as a foreign financed project by the Ministry of Economy in the Government of Turkmenistan until April 2013. Without this official registration, the project was unduly delayed as it could not open required bank accounts or avoid other hurdles such as tax implications. There were also delays in opening of the local project offices and establishment of the Project Board due to the absence of project registration. Other reasons for the slow start-up of the project include delays associated with lack of specialists, experts and scientists in the field of climate change in Turkmenistan. Finally, the process of recruiting a Project Manager was also delayed and the first Project Manager left the project end of 2012. The new Project Manager is on board as of April 2013 and an International Chief Technical Advisor as of May 2013 and it is expected that the project will proceed with implementation without further delays. Currently, the above mentioned issues are resolved, the project is finalizing recruitment of a team of international and national experts and work has started under all project Outcomes. It is expected that project delivery will pick-up in Q3 and Q4, 2013."]

By supporting elaboration of the new Water Code, which currently provides a general framework enabling establishment of Water User Associations, the project reduced this risk. \nAnother important risk reduction measure was community mobilization work. It is expected to result in reduction of several risks related to awareness of water users, their reluctance to adopt new approaches and their low motivation to participate in decision-making.\nFinally, the project successfully resolved the issue that was causing delay in the project start-up (lack of project registration) by persistent lobbying and organizing high level meetings with responsible governmental authorities. \n"]

This is why the overall rating for the project for this reporting period is Marginally Unsatisfactory. However, all problems have been resolved and it is expected that the implementation of the project will pick-up in the second half of 2013.  \nThe main problem was that the project has not achieved official registration as a foreign financed project by the Ministry of Economy in the Government of Turkmenistan until April 2013. Without the registration, implementation of the project activities, especially in the target regions was constrained. Additionally, due to the lack of qualified technical specialists and managers in the area of climate change, recruitment of Project Manager and technical experts for some positions took much longer than planned as positions had to be re-advertised. \nOutcome 1: MU\nTarget for 2012 – ‘A package of amendments to Water Code (WC) with proposed water tariff and other economic instruments developed and submitted for adoption’ - was not met due to the project late start-up. However, a team of experts engaged by the project is starting work on a package of proposals that would be included as a set of sub-regulations under the WC. It is expected that the package of proposals could be submitted to the Parliament for adoption together with revised WC end of 2013 or in 2014.   \nDespite active participation in the work of Interministerial working group that was drafting the WC, the project has not advanced on the second target – ‘Updated water code has explicit recognition of climate impacts on water resources by the end of 2013’. Currently work of the Interministerial working group is finalized, draft WC is ready and it does not contain explicit references to climate change. However, the project plans to lobby with the members of the working group and directly with the Ministry of Water Resources to include recognition of climate impacts on water sector in the draft WC before it goes for approval to the Parliament. \nA good result in this reporting period is project’s contribution to the development of the new Water Code. The project initiated and supported discussions on the principles of basin approach to water resources management, payments for excessive water use (over a limit), creation of public funds, public participation in water management, protection of local waters, etc.\nOutcome 2: MS\nAfter achieving project registration, the project has initiated community mobilization work, which will serve as a basis for the project engagement in all three pilot regions. The ultimate objective of the community mobilization process is to ensure sustainability of local adaptation practices that will be identified and implemented through a participatory approach. The VCA has not started yet, but planning for VCA is on-going and workshops were held in all three regions to discuss water supply issues and community needs were identified and documented. While selection of the adaptation interventions was to be based on the VCA, some of the measures were already identified in the process of project development. Also, some of the measures identified in the project document, such as, for example, tree planting, needed preparatory work – establishment of seedling centers. Based on project document, consultations with local communities, and on expert assessment, the following activities were implemented in three pilot regions: local nursery-gardens for seedlings established in three regions; catchment area for erosion control and reforestation selected in Nohur region; areas for sand dune fixation and woodland rehabilitation identified in Karakum; area for tree planting selected in Sakarchaga.\nOutcome 3: Unsatisfactory\nThe target on clarifying mandates for the target WUA and on capacity development plans was not met due to the delays in project implementation as described above. Initial work at the local level on mobilizing water users has started. Project’s contribution to the development of the Water Code, in particular, support to provisions enabling establishment of WUAs, will greatly benefit implementation of this Outcome. An expert is on board who will work on proposals for improvements of communal water services in the target regions. \n"]

[null,null,"Were there any delays in implementation?  If so, include any causes of delays. What measures have been taken to reduce delays?","As mentioned above and in the Financial Data section, a major delay in project start-up was due to the absence of project registration. The project tried to address this directly with the Ministry of Economy, responsible for registration of international projects. However, in January 2013 a new Presidential Decree regarding state accounting of foreign financed projects/programmes was issued and based on this Decree, the Ministry of Economy was to develop new procedures for registration. When it became clear that the process of developing new procedures was going to take some time, the project involved Senior Management of UNDP and organized high level meetings with the government. This strategy was successful and led to project receiving registration in April 2013. \nThe process of engaging a Project Manager was also delayed. The position had to be re-advertised due to lack of qualified candidates and when the PM was eventually hired after several months of recruitment process, he eventually left after only four months of service. An advertisement for recruitment of a new PM was widely disseminated and selection process was highly competitive.
