rn,,.""""'=p=o=RTIN= =c""ENT==1T=~ The financial statements are for Sindh Agricultural Growth Project. The financial statement

encompasses the reporting entity as defined in the financing agreement between the Islamic

Republic of Pakistan and the World Bank. The Financing Agreement was signed on 25-08-

2014 for an amount SOR 49.4 Million equivalents to US$ 62.37 Million. The project became

effective from October 30, 2014 with the closing date of June 30'\ 2019.

The Sindh Agriculture Growth Project (SAGP) will focus on horticulture-particularly

chilies (92 percent of national production), onions (33 percent), and dates (about 50

percent}-and milk production because they have a small farmer focus, have significant

involvement of women in production and processing, arid, from a national perspective, Sindh

enjoys the greatest competitive advantage in these pro-poor production value chains.

Horticulture is largely unregulated, includes more private sector actors than the major crops,

and has received little donor attention in the past. When donors have invested, they have

focused largely on mangos and bananas-the two most profitable horticulture crops, which

are often grown by large landowners. Investing in horticulture is seen to offer the best

potential for increased small producer incomes, new employment opportunities in production

and processing, improved resource productivity, and enhanced micronutrient avai lability in

the market. The one exception to this strategy is the planned intervention in the rice value

chain, which will target a cluster of small and medium sized producers to help them reduce

the post-harvest damage and loss from poor practices.

Component A Capacity Building and Institutional Development: The project will finance capacity

building of producers through technology development, technology dissemination, training

and exposure. The project would also provide institutional development for the implementing

agencies and support strategic planning for Sindh's Agricultural sector.

Component B Investment for Agricultural Growth: This component finances specific investments in

the horticulture and dairy value chains and a targeted investment to reduce post-harvest

loss among small-holder rice growers. The component would also finance a demand

driven innovation fund to support farmers and producers with technology innovations in

the selected value chains . Selection criteria for farmers and producer groups to receive

project interventions and detailed procedures for funds transfer and managing

contributions.

Component C Project management and monitoring and evaluation: This component would finance

costs for: (i) Project Management Units (PMUs), Project Coordinator's office and project

implementation Units (PJU's); (ii) third party monitoring; (iii) implementation of

Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and Pest Management Plan

(PMP) and development of Social Assessment; and (iv) rigorous impact Evaluation to

attribute causality to project interventions. The operational costs would also include costs

financing of communications strategy and awareness campaigns through print and

electronic media; grievance redressal mechanism (GRM) including interactive voice

response and complaint tracking system; and management information system (MIS).

Financing: The financing is made in the form of credit based on standard World Bank tenns, with a

maturity of 25 Years. The financing agreement number is Credit #5494-PAK.
