Overall conclusion on PCR Conclusions and Success ratings Sample Clauses

Overall conclusion on PCR Conclusions and Success ratings. Overall, the Bank financed a good project, which was in accordance with Government’s educational policy and priorities, and in accordance with its own strategy. Although the project appears good in terms of meeting its set objectives, it suffered implementation problems due to institutional weaknesses and poor project design. Bank performance was unsatisfactory. Moreover, sustainability is not assured because of inadequate budgetary provisions and lack of maintenance of school facilities. Thus the PCR accords a rating of “Fair” to both Implementation Performance and Overall Project Outcome as most performance indicators were scored as unsatisfactory. The PCR scores appear correctly awarded and any adjustments made to the scores do not significantly affect the PCR scores. Adjustments have been in respect of the following:  Compliance with covenants should have been awarded a satisfactory score since Government fulfilled all conditions except those relating to a canceled component.  Private sector development was not rated; this should have been rated as satisfactory since local contractors and suppliers participated in the project; only a small number failed to carry out the works entrusted to them.  The gender issue should also have been highlighted with a satisfactory score in view of the enrolment of school-age girls in the project areas.  The PCR has consistently used the term “Fair” which is not a performance rating terminology.
