Restructuring of the Technical Education and Vocational Training System Project (North-West Frontier Province)

Inadequate review by ADB of the government project documents (PC-Is) and inconsistencies between the PC-Is and the report and recommendation of the President are perennial problems that result in slowing down the pace of project implementation. A thorough review of PC-Is by ADB should be ensured by requiring the project officer to prepare a comparative statement identifying both the similarities and differences between PC-Is and the report and recommendation of the President and/or loan agreement, and advising the executing agency(ies) on corrective measures before declaring project effectiveness.
