Improvements in hygiene and sanitation conditions and access to safe water
My reading would be:
Six-monthly report: May 2009 -October 2009
Project # XC-07
Improvements in hygiene and sanitation conditions and access to safe water.
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 13 minutos (2010-08-04 11:58:33 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
or alternatively:
Six-monthly report, from May 2009 to October 2009
Project # XC-07 - Improvements in hygiene and sanitation conditions and access to safe water.
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 4 horas (2010-08-04 16:32:55 GMT)

I believe "six-monthly" is the correct term here if this report is produced every six months.
semestral adj
(a) (en frecuencia) six-monthly, semiannual
(b) (en duración) six-month; Educ asignatura semestral one-semester course
If this report is a one-off and spans a period of 6 months, then I suggest:
"Report covering/including the six months from May 2009 to October 2009."
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 4 horas (2010-08-04 16:34:28 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
And you also have "half-yearly report", although this seems to be used mainly in the context of company financial results.

Six-month Report for May 2009 to October
Six-month Report for May 2009 to October 2009 on the Project # XC-07 entitled Improvement of Hygienic - Sanitary Conditions and Access to Safe Water.
Please note a six-month [better to use the noun, instead of the adverb] report would make the second date 2009 as well. A report is "entitled". Spelling of "Hygienic"

: I agree with "six-month report", but don't think the article is needed before "Project".
