During the February 21 Project launch mission the Bank and client agreed on an aggressive implementation plan to have all significant works under contract by the close of 21. This target was not met in part due to: (i) management challenges associated with the large quantity of activities being developed and structured; Page 1 of 7
(ii) internal Government procurement process delays; and (iii) delays in the structuring of core activities. netheless, the Project has made significant progress in building a pipeline of activities and it is estimated that these contracts will enter implementation and begin disbursement in the next 6 to 12 months of implementation.
