3. Effectiveness to date.
Since last year, no new implementation bottle-necks occurred and almost all the services contracts have
been concluded before the deadline of 15 November. These two elements mark a positive evolution
towards the achievement of the project purpose. Meanwhile, since none of the major service contracts
have yet started, the effectiveness to date is still potential. The follow-up of the purpose indicators in the
forthcoming six months will give a better view. As predicted in the last MR, one agriculture year has been
lost since the activities did not start earlier while another one may also be lost if the implementation suffers
any further delay.
4. Impact to date.
As mentioned last year, it is still too early in the project implementation stage to assess the impact of the
project produced to date. Meanwhile, considering the quality of its design, the project has the potential to
have a positive focused impact on poverty in target areas.
5. Potential sustainability.
The project is well embedded in local structures with satisfactory collaboration with the local government
even if their attendance to all the meetings is below expectation (the question of allowance remains a
problem). For the QIP, gender equality is taken into consideration in a satisfactory way. Regarding the
sustainability of agricultural activities fostered by the project, a concept paper on the value chain has been
developed in order to identify the potential for some economical “filiere” (vegetables, fruits, mushrooms).
As regards vocational training (e.g. TV repairman, hairdresser, sewing, animal rising), since the trainees
also received some equipment, there is a direct possibility for them to start their own activities. So far, the
exit strategy still need to be better defined including the hand over strategy to the national counterpart.
The question of future maintenance of the infrastructures built by the project also needs to be addressed.
