LOAN COMPLETION REPORT OF THE EDUCATION SECTOR LOAN (524-L-027)

MOST ACTIVITIES SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT CAPABLY HANDLED BY MINISTRY AND MONITORED BY USAID. ONLY PERSONNEL SYSTEM REFORM WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. FAILURE IN ACHIEVING THIS OUTPUT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO EMPHASIS ON RECONSTRUCTION EFFORT BY MINISTRY OFFICALS AND TO FACT THAT THERE WERE, 3 DIFFERENT MINISTERS DURING IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD ... MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR SCHOOL SYSTEM WAS NOT SUBMITTED BECAUSE OF LOW PRIORITY ASSIGNED TO THAT ACTIVITY. USAID INCLUDED DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PLAN AS CONDITION PRECEDENT TO PENDING RURAL EDUCATION LOAN.
