Southern Province Rural Economic Advancement Project

Since the project had two implementing agencies supervised by different agencies, project coordination was difficult. A more suitable arrangement involving dual implementation agencies may be through a region-based apex financial institution, which is also assigned responsibility for establishment and operation of enterprise development service support activities and works closely with the regional organization responsible for sustaining the enabling environment. During the design stage, project implementation arrangements and responsibilities of each agency should be clearly explained in the project administration memorandum.
