A team of representatives from the World Bank, together with the Department of Agrarian Reform, is in Dumaguete to conduct a review of the Second Agrarian Reform Communities Development Project until April 19.
The team led by World Bank Senior Operations Officer Ma. Theresa Quinones is conducting the implementation completion review mission to finalize the Project’s Implementation Completion Report, said Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer Stephen Leonidas.
The report will focus on the degree of the project’s achievement of its development objective and outputs, the project’s sustainability, World Bank’s and government’s performance and lessons learned during the implementation.
Leonidas said the original ARCDP2 loan was closed on June 30 last year while the additional financing loan ended on Dec. 31 last year.
The team’s findings and recommendations will be outlined in a draft version of a document known as Aide Memoire, which will serve as the main reference during the wrap-up meeting on April 19, 2011.
The final Aide Memoire and the World Bank Management letter will be issued thereafter, including the updated draft ICR for the Government’s review and comments. (RMN/PIA)
