(*) Co-financing includes parallel financing from World Bank and/or other donors which is in support of the GEF project and is part of the baseline investments but may not be included in the financing plan of the project approved by the World Bank Board. This figure is expected to increase during project implementation to reflect any additional financing leveraged by the GEF interventions over the life of the project.

(**) This figure represents approximately 20% more than the overall resource envelope approved by GEF Council for the Investment Fund ($ 70 million). Since the IF operates on a first-come first-serve basis but grants are made available only after a project is approved by the World Bank Board (approximately 18-24 months after they enter the IF pipeline), a 20% pipeline overprogram covers for those projects that may be dropped during project preparation.

(***) The reduction estimates relate strictly to investments made during the life time of the project which serve mainly the purpose of demonstration and awareness raising. In the years following the implementation of the project, it is expected that these practices will be replicated widely and hence the nutrient load reduction will be significantly higher.
