Southern Agriculture Area Development Project

The project performance report (PPR) ratings were inconsistently applied over the period of project implementation. The ratings are 'satisfactory' and 'highly satisfactory' until November 2008, and are then rated 'at risk' and 'potential problem' for the month December 2008. The ratings then revert to 'satisfactory', before the project is again rated 'at risk' and 'potential problem' in December 2009. There is no justification to explain this inconsistency and is likely due to staff error from inadequate attention in correctly updating the PPR and applying correct performance ratings.
