Abstract
PES, consisting of a facesheet, covers the period 9/78-9/83 and is based on an attached special evaluation (XD-AAQ-603-A). The project has been terminated and no project-specific actions are necessary. Lessons learned are: project funds should be clearly earmarked by purpose and entity; projects well behind schedule should be closely monitored by both A.I.D. and the host government implementing agency; a decision to cancel any one project component should be based on an understanding of its connection to overall project success; the link between research inputs and project outputs should be made explicit in project design; expatriate contractors should be aware of the appropriateness of the technology they recommend and should consider locally-developed technologies; training should be designed to contribute directly to the project purpose; village-level activities require adequate time; and implementing agencies should move quickly to evaluate, audit, and/or review a project once significant implementation problems become apparent.
