Vocational Education Strengthening Project

Given the complexity of the project activities that were implemented across 90 model and 230 alliance schools throughout the nation, the project design could have considered more efficient implementation arrangements in procuring equipment for all the schools. The initial arrangement of central procurement through NCB (national competitive bidding) method turned out to be very time-consuming and less effective. More thorough due diligence for procurement arrangements would have facilitate smoother implementation of project activities at lower costs.
