The Ministry of Education of Afghanistan would like to thank colleagues at the World Bank
for their cooperation in successful implementation of Afghanistan Second Education Quality
Improvement Project (EQUIP II).
Currently there are 415 Projects (earlier reported 524 ) with incomplete contracted
components, the required budget for completion is (9,149,559) USD
Currently there are 110 Projects with partially completed building and some incomplete
components, the Required Budget for completion is (4,798,433) USD
Out of 525 Projects in total , there are (463) with more than 70% of physical progress,
(32) within 50 %to 70 %physical progress and (30) with less than 50% physical
progress
1. Variation in Design: Variation in BoQ and Drawings as well as Variation in actual work
performed (Actual quantities at site ) versus contracted quantities (BoQ)
2. Increase in construction material price over the course of 3-4 years of implementation, The
unit cost were not derived from Site Specific Construction Material Rates, there was no
Provision for Transportation Cost, and the Same contract amount were considered across
Afghanistan irrespective of geographical and site conditions
3. Variation in cost due to Exchange Rate (inflation): Over the course of implementation
period ( 3 to 4 years) there was difference in Exchange rates ( 1$ from 48AFS raised to
56AFS) .
4. Variation in cost due to social contribution: Community were supposed to pay 10% of
contract budget, however due to weak economic condition, the community could not contribute
except providing the land in some project, which is anyway not included in the Project Cost.
5. Missing Items: for some schools ,there are essential components that were not included in
contract, neither considered under additional financing phase however the provision of these
components are essential for creating safe learning environment
The financial implications in terms of amount for each of the above mentioned reasons are as
bellow:
The leadership of Ministry of Education value the partnership with the World Bank and request
for providing financial support of a total amount of 9,454,912 USD to cover the difference
indicated in the reasons of non-completion. Moreover, the projects will require 12 months for
completion including procurement process once the financing is made available. In the
meantime the government of Afghanistan is committed to refer the case listed under item D in
the table above for legal proceedings and will try to find the required resources for completion
these projects and to create safe access and learning environment for the school children of
Afghanistan.
Sincerely
Dr. ...
