Timely project completion report (PCR) is important for maintaining policy dialogue and assessing the need for follow-up actions and future assistance. Project Administration Instruction No. 6.07A recommends that the PCR be prepared between 1-2 years after project completion. In the case of Rural Financial Sector Development Program (RFSDP) program loan, the second (and final) tranche was released in February 2006. The bulk of activities under Project 1 and Project 2 were completed in 2008. Given that considerable time has lapsed since Program implementation ended, and significant staff turnover in the executing agency and implementing agencies since, the authorities were not able to contribute meaningfully to Program assessment. PCR preparation would have benefited from the insights of officials directly involved in program implementation.
