AID loan no. 524-L-013, malaria eradication : loan completion review and report

AIRGRAM, FROM USAID/MANAGUA TO AID/WASHINGTON DATED 4/3/74, REPORTS ON GON COMPLIANCE OF LOAN COMPLETION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. UNDER CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT, THE GON MUST MAINTAIN DISEASE CONTROL EFFORTS, REPORT BOTH PERIODICALLY ON DISEASE INCIDENCE AND ANNUALLY ON THE FINANCIAL AND OPERATING STATUS OF THE LOAN AFTER FINAL LOAN DISBURSEMENT. MALARIA HAS BEEN SUFFICIENTLY BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL IN MAJOR CITIES AND AGRICULTURAL AREAS, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOT BEEN ENTIRELY ERADICATED FROM THE COUNTRY. THE GON IS CONTINUING TO UNDERTAKE ADEQUATE DISEASE CONTROL MEASURES. PERIODIC REPORTS TO AID ON DISEASE INCIDENCE WERE TEMPORARILY DISCONTINUED WHEN GON MINISTRIES HAD TO PROVIDE DISASTER ASSISTANCE AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE. USAID EXPECTS THAT THESE REPORTS WILL AGAIN BE FURNISHED ON A REGULAR BASIS, AT LEAST DURING THE PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 1976. USAID HAS DETERMINED THAT FINANCIAL AND OPERATING STATEMENTS ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO SUPPORT PRESENT OR FUTURE MONITORING RESPONSIBILITIES.
